I commend to you the post by Leg-Iron about this matter. Moreover, for as long as either the other Officers of the Libertarian Alliance, or those of the NewLieBorgFabiaNazi State – whichever crowd comes here to remove me first – this Blog will maintain the following:-
That for Classical liberalism to survive – and indeed to spread – an institutionally-Judeo-Christian background to society, is an absolutely necessary pre-condition, but not in itself a sufficient one. The State, in such a society, insofar as it has functions, ought to publicly maintain and defend positions based on the Gospels and the Mosaic Decalogue. it is then up to libertarians to force the State’s institutions (if need be) to take further positions based on natural Rights: that is to say, to abide by the spirit and the letter of all our usual life/liberty/property guff.
So no let-up for you people regarding Christmas messages on here, then. Easter ones if I can get round to them: got a good one building as a draft. And, if you’re not careful, and young Northwood fails to eat his boiled greens (without salt) on Friday nights, I’ll hit you all on Ascension Day.

That’s a very interesting questions to which the answer is very probably not.
The enemy class is hostile to both libertarians and Christians for overlapping reasons.
At a political level, we need to start building a coalition of as many of the groups that the enemy class hates as possible, for example: – natives, Christians, small business people, freedom lovers, family orientated people, etc..
At present certain political parties seek to represent one or other fragment of those disenfranchised by the enemy class eg UKIP, LPUK. At present no political party is trying the task of building a coalition. The first party that makes a serious attempt at that is likely to build itself a large voter base and secure power.
At a cultural level, we have to re-legitimise all aspects of British culture including Christianity. If we don’t then we will continue the drift towards ever more statism and islam.
The living parts of the Christian church (eg catholic) represent an alternative ideology and an alternative source of authority. That is something that the enemy class cannot accept. (The dead parts of the Christian church (eg the Churches of England and Scotland) have been so taken over by the enemy class that they are part of the problem.)
I’m afraid I’m only scratching the surface of the issue. However, I am sure that Christians and at a cultural level, Christianity, are certainly part of the solution.
Sort answer: Yes
Long answer: Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssss. Why would you have to think the creator of the universe impregnated a woman to give birth to himself with the ultimate goal of sacrificing himself for the flaws he placed in humanity in order to think that it’s wrong to murder, steal, and enslave.
Now, there can be said to be something about churches providing social networks and all that jazz, but the same can be accomplished with a bridge club – no hocus-pocus required.
