"Libertarianism is the idea that government intervention is morally wrong"

Since morals are just a substitute for lack of knowledge, that seems kind of silly. So libertarianism is a kind of religion?

If libertarianism is a kind of religion, then The Wealth of Nations is a theological work. Give me a break.

I haven't read "The Wealth Of Nations", but I thought it was an economics book, not a libertarians manifesto.
