No, there is a vast difference. The libertarian will enact libertarian policies. They will not enact Christian or atheist policies (if there is such a thing as an atheist policy). I would not vote for Mike Huckabee, not because he is a Christian, but because he wants to enact Christian policies into what should be a secular state which separates church and state in its own constitution.
I would sooner vote for atheist John Stuart Mill than Catholic Hitler.
