Perhaps a better term may be Mark Levin's “civil society.”

Within the civil society, “He (man) is free to discover his own potential and pursue his own legitimate interests, tempered, however, by a moral order that has its foundation in faith and guides his life and all human life through the prudent exercise of judgment. . . He rejects the relativism that blurs the lines between good and bad, right and wrong, just and unjust, and means and ends.”

I was a Libertarian for about fifteen years, but changed my mind when I concluded that government has a large and legitimate role in the promotion of what Levin calls the civil society.

That is precisely to which I alluded. Thank you for placing it in better terms.
