Read the 2nd treatise on civil government. It is the Classical Liberal equivalent of the Communist Manifesto and Das Kapital. The opening section totally rejects traditional christian views of government and the document as a whole states in a nutshell that the only legitimate functions of the government are to protect life, liberty and property; the government has no legitimate authority to regulate public morality beyond the point of forbidding public nudity and things like child molestation. Oh liberalism, like classic Greco-Roman culture taught learning natural science as a virtue something Christianity does not. Natural science is a form of arrogance according to Christian teachings. The West was for a time period a Christian region of the world. That was during the time in which virtually no artistic or scientific advancements were made. Once we started returning to the culture of the pre-Christian West that changed.
