I didn't think his brush was broad, he was describing a particular subset of Christians, who think that it's just fine to use government coercion, to force their behavioral preferences upon others who disagree.

You'll find that many libertarians actually agree with you on the abortion issue; most all the ones I know here on FR do, including myself.

Cool. I am sorry if I took an unwarranted shot. Look, I have some real problems with the culture, but I don't think a Christian Jihad is what G-d wants. Rome was a pretty despicable place, and my spiritual Founding Fathers were slaughtered by the thousands for standing up for their ideas. Their ideas triumphed, the church merged into the State and it has been all downhill for the purity of Christ's message since.

I still believe that Christ's message can triumph in a free exchange of ideas; after all, in my own atheistic and hedonistic heart, his love and truth triumphed. So, I talk. I hope that the culture will change one person at a time. Until then , I homeschool my kids, and try to follow some good advice - "Live peacebly among men, as much as possible."
