Actually, it's nothing like that. Traditional (classical) conservatism leaves moral values to the individual, as it places tremendous responsibility on the individual, not other institutions to inculcate those values

This statement demonstrates profound ignorance of Burkean conservatism.

Surely you don't mean the same Burke who despised revolution, especially when done by the French, but did make one exception in that he fully supported the American Revolution as it removed America out from under the yoke of one church, even though he fully supported monarchy?
