Christian Libertarianism

Christian Libertarianism is a libertarian, economically right and somewhat culturally right ideology. Christian libertarianism combines Christianity and its teachings with libertarian political ideology and philosophy. It believes in the non-aggression principal, and does not believe Christian values, beliefs or morals should be forced onto people violently, but they should be strongly encouraged through social institutions.

In Catholicism
Catholic libertarians generally draw upon the philosophy of Saint Thomas Aquinas, notable for synthesizing Aristotlean thought with Catholic theology. With the natural law (the concept of there being a law ordained through 'God, Nature or Reason', instead of the state) being a common theme. Aquinas also influenced secular libertarianism.

The historian, politician and writer John-Alberg Acton, better known as just 'Lord Acton' who's work greatly influenced classical liberalism and with it libertarianism was a Roman Catholic.

In Anglicanism
John Locke considered to be the father of liberalism in its classical form (the ideology upon which libertarianism draws upon) was an Anglican.

Albert Jay Nock, one of the major figures of the Old Right movement and the first person to use 'libertarian' in a right-wing context was the member of the Episcopal church.

Libertarian Christianity
Libertarian Christianity is a type of Christian theology derived primarily from Calvinism. Not all Christian libertarians are Libertarian Christians, and sometimes there might be strong theological disagreements between Libertarian Christians and other Christian libertarians.
