Reading through pretty much all the enlightenment thinkers... Locke... later on Adam Smith...
They all emphasized the importance of “christian ethics” - in Adam Smith’s case in tempering the raw effects human greed and unbridled capitalism could have. i.e. Greed is not good. A little greed and a little christian love for your next man will go a long way :D
Perhaps not the most popular words here on freerepublic, but they are there nonetheless.

“Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom”
2 Cor 3:17
When a person or society is self-governed by Christian principles, very little outside control (government) is necessary.
