Yes, this doesn't sound like a religion at all.
Do you have a link to "fact and value" by David Kelley? All I could find was an argument that started when Peter Schwartz told Kelley he wasn't allowed to talk to Libertarians, Kelley said "no way, that's bullshit" and then Piekoff told Kelley "No, YOU'RE bullshit" in an essay entitled "Fact and value".

i read "Fact and Value" several times at the University of Waterloo philosophy library. it was part of a collection that was not available on loan. so i had to read it in the library.
no idea where you'd find it... start calling up philosophy profs at your university maybe?
