Robert Heinlein coined the word "Randite" in "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress". I believe he was one, himself.
"Randian" is a perfectly valid form, like Euclidian, Shakespearean, Aristotelian, etc. It is not disrespectful. Now "Randist" I would find unacceptable if it ever turned up.
To make the miniseries a success, spice up the sex, and run it on AMC. That the only way to get the nonbelievers to watch it. Telling the general public that it's anything else will not get people excited, there are too many that just don't care. Give them, or at least advertise it as sex or something really gross and outgoing like the latest "Fargo" and they will watch it.

I just hope they don't change the cast every episode.
