How exactly religion instills virtue is a huge topic onto itself. Being Catholic, I have serious theological reservations regarding puritanism. However, I simply wished to point out, here, that when a few thousand puritans enjoy the fruits of liberty and property, that in no way scales to 200 million social libertines raised by the Disney Channel trying to do the same.

Well, as you're talking about libertines, not libertarians, perhaps such a point, whatever its merits on its own, really isn't germane to the thread . . .
