I never said that. Why I am comparing is the idea that you guys are not for rational living, yet you claim to when a hot topic such as religion comes around. A rational man is one who tries to live by reason in all areas. Morality is not excluded.
Also, comparing morality to religion is like comparing apples to oranges. Religions provide moralities. A religion is basically a base for someone's worldview, except it requires faith. Morality is a way to achieve what someone desires in their worldview.

I don't have a problem with living life "according to one's own rational judgment" but the extent to which Rand takes it isn't rational, it's just selfish.

Well, selfishness is rational. That is her whole argument.
