This one is pretty damn obvious, I think.
Back when the right wing first started pushing the idea that they could get religious exemptions from doing their job, I thought of what kind of chaos it would cause in society if that was extended to all religions, and all strong moral beliefs that don't require a belief in God. Rand Mart is a parody of Wal-Mart, but ironically, doubling down on the Objectivism makes them more palatable, because they don't let any religion, including Christianity, get between them and a profit.
I came up with the idea in the 00's, started it in maybe 2014, finished it a couple of years ago, and here we are today.
