[A conservative is]
Someone who realizes instinctively that liberal secular humanism is stupid and silly. What about conservative secular humanism?

Secular humanism isn't conservative. Since there is no data to validate a secularist conclusion from agnostic premises, there is no valid conservative reason to pursue an anti-Christian agenda within a conservative Western cultural context. An agonstic who wants to identify with conservatives can only remain mute on spiritual matters and admit that they do not understand such things and omit themselves from religious observance. To advance a "secular humanist" agenda is to enter into the pathologies of modernity and silly liberalism. Since aristocratic Christians invented conservatism, the non-believer has to respect the theistic realm albeit from a murkier penumbra of epistemological uncertainty. Usually, they end up converting.
