Why Libertarians Shouldn’t Be Atheists
The impression that atheism or materialism is an plished host for libertarian values is mistaken, says Jay Richards. “Libertarians may be surprised to learn that these core values—if not the entire repertoire of libertarian ideas—makes far more sense in a theistic milieu.” Richards examines four areas that are lost by embracing an atheistic, materialistic worldview: No Individual RightsNo Freedom or ResponsibilityNo Reliable ReasonNo Moral Truth Richards makes clear that his argument does not claim that either libertarian values or theism...

Yet I feel no inclination to enlist the muscle of the magistrates to manipulate them toward watering things down. I...
Student Loan Debt is Not Just an Economic Problem, It’s a Marriage Problem

As a progressive redistribution scheme it’s rather ingenious: It allows the government to take money from private individuals and businesses and give it to other businesses (i.e., college and universities), all while giving the impression of helping another group of private...
