From what I have seen, part of the libertarian "faith" is to hate Christians with their social marxist brothern. One can be economically conservative and socially radical leftist. That is what i see among atheist libertarians.

To me, this an ignorant combination. A morally educated and dedicated society is necessary for self governance; the governance the libertarians want. But they advocate amorality and attack anyone who asserts moral principal and this is the social condition that leads to socialism.

Not at all. Libertarians recognize religion as a free choice that people make, a matter of conscience. Their sole problem with Christianity is the tendency of some of its adherents to try to legally enforce the rules of their faith.

Ironically, Christ and his apostles never sought to do any such thing. Christianity as state policy was a Roman invention coinciding with the conversion of Constantine. It has more to do with Caeser than Christ.

As a libertarian Christian who knows several other libertarian Christians, I dispute that characterization.
