There was nothing anti religious in my reply. But I'm sure you can point out what you think was anti religious...
Conservatism is an ideology:

A common way of distinguishing conservatism from both liberalism and radicalism is to say that conservatives reject the optimistic view that human beings can be morally improved through political and social change. Conservatives who are Christians sometimes express this point by saying that human beings are guilty of original sin. Skeptical conservatives merely observe that human history, under almost all imaginable political and social circumstances, has been filled with a great deal of evil. Far from believing that human nature is essentially good or that human beings are fundamentally rational, conservatives tend to assume that human beings are driven by their passions and desires—and are therefore naturally prone to selfishness, anarchy, irrationality, and violence. Accordingly, conservatives look to traditional political and cultural institutions to curb humans’ base and destructive instincts. In Burke’s words, people need “a sufficient restraint upon their passions,” which it is the office of government “to bridle and subdue.” Families, churches, and schools must teach the value of self-discipline, and those who fail to learn this lesson must have discipline imposed upon them by government and law. Without the restraining power of such institutions, conservatives believe, there can be no ethical behaviour and no responsible use of liberty.
Conservatism has often been associated with traditional and established forms of religion.

Conservatism and its modernising, anti-traditionalist rivals, liberalism and socialism, are the most influential political philosophies and ideologies of the post-Enlightenment era. Conservatives criticise their rivals for making a utopian exaggeration of the power of theoretical reason, and of human perfectibility. Conservative prescriptions are based on what they regard as experience rather than reason; for them, the ideal and the practical are inseparable. Most commentators regard conservatism as a modern political philosophy, even though it exhibits the standpoint of paternalism or authority, rather than freedom. As John Gray writes, while liberalism is the dominant political theory of the modern age, conservatism, despite appealing to tradition, is also a response to the challenges of modernity. The roots of all three standpoints “may be traced back to the crises of seventeenth-century England, but [they] crystallised into definite traditions of thought and practice only [after] the French Revolution” (Gray 1995: 78).
Let's remember here again that I said it first and then went out and got two separate credible sources that validate everything I said in my first reply... Human history is rife with such ideologies as WASP far right evangelical conservatism which is exactly what today's "conservatives" are and thus was the story in Salem Massachusetts in 1692 as well. I explained this to you in your other thread about people "leftists" leaving the church. It has never had anything to do with anti religion: those are atheists. It has everything to to with judgmental, punitive, religio centric sectarianism. That is anti American, it's killing the Republican party and the nation's church societies. My own past next door neighbor was a youth minister for a very liberal "touchy feely" church that my kids attended with his family. There were no far right-wing members that I ever met. So I do know what I'm talking about Chris.
