Very interesting and unusual approach to this topic of freedom. I like how you explained it.

Though I wouldn't go so far to compare the lifestyles against each other.

Overall to set oneself under the hierarchy of something which we consider more wise I also see as a natural pull in general.

The loss of such hierarchies causes some pain. The highly individualized life of us modern people leaves it up to the single mind how to decide and what to practice in order to find ethics. The gap which is there because people do not believe in government and church must be filled with something meaningful.

Division of powers and the victory of having freed societies from the celestial is the upside. But the downside can be found as well. Many ethical questions are not answered by the people in power as they expect the citizens to find their own answers and do not find themselves in charge to serve as role models. Because when you try to be a role model in the sense of following moral principles you risk to be tagged as a Christian (which became meanwhile a curse term for many). Since this role is not accepted any more what can you say you are?

All the names like libertarian or feminist or humanitarian are just nouns which cannot explain you as a person on a whole.

Better it is to make choices and practice what potentials you've got in the events coming up every given moment. In one situation you surrender and in another one you lead. One encounter needs submission and another one authority. There are infinite choices but one has to make up ones mind at a certain point in time and space.
