Don Feder is an excellent Jewish conservative writer, but his comparison of liberalism to religion can be made just as well with conservatism. After all, conservatives also have our saints, sinners, sacred texts, and rituals.

Judaism and conservatism should share the basic common value of freedom. That's what both Passover and the Fourth of July are all about.

Speak for yourself, I missed that cult.

Conservatism doesn’t serve as a religion, though. Or at least not as often as liberalism does. And it’s not as interchangeable with some religions as liberalism, either. For example, Reform Judaism is sometimes jokingly called, the DNC with holidays.
