Libertarians insist that Western ethics are “religious” and therefore illegal, like liberals do.

Being led or governed by people who reject a public Western ethical culture and character for the nation - especially among business and government leaders or the elite - precludes constitutional freedom’s self governance.

Marxism’s atheism goes with Marxism’s total governing structure. Constitutional freedom, born of Western philosphy, goes with a public Western ethical based, self governing public culture.

This is area where libertarians and conservatives will never agree. Rand thought it clever to mix Marxism’s social ideal of State enforced public atheism or amorality with free markets. It was not clever and it does not work - as we can see. We are losing the constituition as liberals and libertarians “progress” in cleansing the American culture of freedom.

I've never heard a libertarian say that. Can you give a specific quotation?

Does having a public Western ethical culture and character for the nation require governmental enforcement? As far as I know, libertarians oppose only the latter.
