Leading Randian author says that Christianity is the only real threat to America, and an evil comparable to Soviet Communism

In the discussion following the entry, “Why Randians care about me,” Alan Roebuck quotes Ayn Rand’s intellectual heir, Leonard Peikoff:

What does determine the survival of this country is not political concretes, but fundamental philosophy. And in this area the only real threat to the country now, the only political evil comparable to or even greater than the threat once posed by Soviet Communism, is religion [i.e., Christianity] and the [Republican] Party which is its home and sponsor.
