BTW, I'm not trying to say there is a problem with religion. I think the instruction of religion/ethics/morals/whatever belongs in the home though. You should not expect the Government to impart religious or ethical beliefs into people. Only parents can do that. The individual makes up the Government. The Government does not define the individual...

Yeah, I know that you're not arguing against religion; and we probably hold all kinds of similar beliefs on the size and scope of government. I wish, however, that more libertarians would see that without Christian virtue, liberty is impossible. "Equality before the Creator" is not something that Islam came up with. Or for that matter, atheism. For more on where I'm coming from, check out www.acton.org, religion and liberty together.
