Here's the thing. Libertarians are generally strict Constitutionalists. They see moral issues as something that the States should decide for themselves. As it stands, the debochery of the left is forced upon the States by the Federal Government. If we had a Libertarian government, the Christian Right would get most of what it wants by default in at least 40 States. Sure, there would be voices within those States calling for things like gay marriage, abortion, etc. But as long as there was a God fearing majority in those States, they would not get their way.

The question is, would Christians be willing to let gay marriage and such be allowed in 10 or less states? Or would we take the "all or nothing" approach of the likes of Rick Santorum who thinks the Christian Right should focus on getting godly judges appointed?

For years Christians were focused on moral issues when they should have been focused on reigning in the Federal Government and restoring Constitutional law. As I said before, we do the latter, and we Christians will see our "agenda" reign in at least 40 States.
