Really? Aren't evangelical Christians most predominant in America, which is based in part in protecting individual freedom of religion? They don't do too well, as a movement, in more statist countries.

That's all very true. What doesn't jive well with Evangelicals is Libertarian insistence that law not be based on morality (can't legislate morality is the meme you most often hear). Libertarians want to legalize drugs as well, and most evangelicals are dead set against this idea. A great number of libertarians also favor legalizing gay marriage which evangelicals are also against. Discounting Libertarians for Life (which is a rather small group within the party), libertarians also think that abortion law as it is should not be changed, and this really doesn't play well with Evangelicals. Libertarians also believe that the Founders did not create our country based on Judeo-Christian values, which simply is not true. Evangelicals also don't care for this.

In short, evangelicals and libertarians probably more-or-less agree on foreign policy, but domestic/social policy they're like night and day. Furthermore, the pro-capitalist ideas of the right are preferred by most evangelical christians to the somewhat more regulated ideas coming from the libertarian party.

Speaking as an evangelical Christian, there's just not enough to like where libertarians are concerned for me to vote for them.

"pro-capitalist ideas of the right are preferred by most evangelical Christians to the somewhat more regulated ideas coming from the libertarian party"

I think you have this backwards!
Most evangelical Christians that I know if you talk economic issues with them are very susceptible to class demagoguery ! Most of the ones I know the only things that keeps them GOP is the Democrat party's continued championing of the notion that being a sociopath is a civil right.
