exodus - Our Founding Fathers were libertarian, and I don't think anyone would ever accuse them of being atheists.
Commie Basher - Oh, you'd find disagreement on both scores. Not everyone would call them libertarians, and many of them were deists, which some contend was a cover for atheists. I've also heard Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and Tom Paine accused of atheism, although I'm not sure how accurately.
***************

All I've read about deists says that even if they weren't mainstream Christians, they certainly weren't atheists. They believed in God.

Ben Franklin called himself a Christian, but he noted that he had serious problems accepting that Jesus and God were the same person. I share his skepticism on that point, but I am a Christian just the same.

My requirement for the title "libertarian" is a belief in the Rights of Men, and in the Rule of Law. Our Founders qualify.

You are no Christian if you don't accept who Jesus said he was: "I and the Father are one."

Repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved exodus.
