I would also say in my experience that most Libertarians are hostile towards religious people.

I politely disagree. I haven't a problem with religious people. Many are my friends and family. The only problem occurs when some of them attempt to impose their will upon others through coercion.

Of course, I get equally upset at anyone who tries to do that, no matter what their motive.

I am not sure what you mean by coercion. Many Libertarians seem to think that freedom to express religious views is coercion. Sure I am against the use of government force to impose religion, but government, with the blessing of Libertarians, use the government to surpress individual religious views. Free speech is only free if it is non-religious.
