So regardless of whatever god someone believes in, their basic principles are "moral", even if it is in direct conflict with Gods laws? I'm not even sure where you are coming from here, especially since some major religions don't share the same basic morals.

Religion, being an institution of man, is no more safe from corruption than any other institution.

You are posting in ignorance. All monotheist religions and some that aren’t such as Buddhism - and theism includes Hinduism which at its essence is very monotheist - share the same basic set of moral values.

“Reading, reflection and time have convinced me that the interests
of society require the observation of those moral precepts ... in
which all religions agree.” —Thomas Jefferson

The problem with the libertarian worldview is that they base their morality in the reason of man. Therefore their foundation is based on a subjective and thus, relative, framework. It is not objective and unchanging. The morals they operate by can change when enough people’s views change.

The Christian worldview bases morality in the laws of God who is perfect and right. In something external and objective to man, because the Christian knows man (himself, and others) are not perfect and are sinful and prone to sin and fail and let morals slide into decay over time. Christians worldview are summed up concisely and easily in the 10 Commandments. The standard is the same for everyone. Nobody can say “that is just your personal opinion” because it’s not, it’s God’s perfect standards.
