Libertarianism predated Objectivism, in fact, it is a label that Ayn Rand rejected. When she first came to America, a large number of libertarians were Christian. The problem conservatives fail to see in the Moral Questions left unresolved by libertarians- is how big government has made these political issues.
School prayer is the biggest example, since tax dollars forced to pay for education, everyone wants their agenda in the curriculum. In privitization, Christians can support their schools, without the support of non-christians. And those few who are offended by religion in education- can support their own school- or school themselves at home.

You are right and most "Old Right" conservatives, as well as libertarians, understood this. The merging of former liberals, dubbed Neo-conservatives, into the conservative movement somewhat confused this understanding. Fortunately, some still understand this point. We need to continueously point this out, so that those numbers will grow.

You'd think that your point would be self-evident, with no need for further explanation, wouldn't you?
Yet I have read where libertarians would be against this, and I cannot understand why.
Your scenario provides fairness for all points of view.
