As we believe each domain has a different master.
And, we don't want the government to be the master of our spiritual or moral lives since government is not spiritual or moral...and cannot be.
The libertarian position is "they are not Caesar's". They are on your side.

We would no doubt be surprised how many conservatives would be libertarians if it were not for the gay marriage and abortion issues.
Even though I have never met a gay libertarian it makes the party look bad because they do not believe it is an issue that should be decided by Government.
On the Christian issue any one who know the liberals know that a conservative is much more liberal in the biblical sense of the word than a liberal.
Liberalism has nothing to do with being a liberal giver.
Pope John Paul II said that “Freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought.”
How does a Libertarian form of government conflict with that? Morality cannot be legislated, it must come from within the individual.
Libertarians are useful idiots. They have the advantage of knowing their ideas have never been used and probably never will.
Libertarians are no different from the Dems on matters that mean the most to conservative Christians. Dems, remember, the ones who tried to vote God out in their convention.
Short answer NO!

If the government and its anti-family legislation were out of the way, people would naturally form associations and many of them will be religious in nature. Pretty soon abortion and public display of sodomy will be punished by customary laws in nearly every legislation. This is how libertarianism and conservatism ARE compatible.
When propagandists of either description use selective libertarian doctrines in the environment where he government is telling people how to live their lives from womb to tomb, the outcomes are grotesque, but that is not strictly libertarianism’s fault.
You mean “Liberaltarians”.
