Isn't that sort of like saying most of a church is religious?

If a movement or group is based on a religious belief then it would logically follow that most would be religious.

Well, I guess if you wanted to say that some Christian conservatives want to impose their religious morality on others.

I believe Conservatism has nothing to do with religion and exists separate and apart. That's why people like Pat Robertson are so annoying.

Are you saying that conservatism is based on religion?
That religion is a requirement for conservatism?

I am a life long atheist, and I am among the most conservative members of our local republican central committee. I have been accused (in good humor) of being "to the right of Ghengis Kahn"!

Reading the post of this thread it appears that we cannot even agree on what conservatism means (no surprise with all the knee-jerk liberalism that commonly erupts in many threads), now we have to argue weather or not it is a religious stance?
Silly me, I always thought that conservatism was related to supporting and defending our secular constitution and BOR as intended by this nations founders.
I insist on leaving religion to remain a personal choice, with no legitimate role in determining law, lest we one day wake to find ourselves compelled to join a single Gov. Org. mandated faith.
Think "Church of England", or at the rate it is growing here, "Islam"!
