Were the Founding Fathers libertarians?

No because Libertarianism didn't exist yet. The Founding Fathers were Classical Liberals

No. Alexander Hamilton opposed free markets and Thomas Jefferson was skeptical of wage labor.

Libertarianism is just a bunch of gay pedophile jews from manhattan trying to get you to let them legalize pedophilia.

The firet amendment only applied to Federal government, not State governments.

Hence, State governments could apply any religious law (until this was amended after the Civol War)

Not really. While the state of affairs in early America appears to be libertarian by today's standards, that was just what normal life was like in preindustrial times. Strong rule of law paired with a massive regulatory state are historical oddities unique to the past century or so, and thus the ideological opposition to these concepts can only be said to exist in the present era.
