No. Religious Conservative, at least in the US, equates to the Christian Right. With all that it entails.
Some of us separate the practice of faith from practice of politics, rendering unto Caesar what is Caesars, and unto the Lord what is His. . . .
You realize you aren't making any sense, right? "He's religious and he's a conservative, but he's not a 'religious conservative.'"
Some of us separate the practice of faith from practice of politics, rendering unto Caesar what is Caesars, and unto the Lord what is His. . . .
Which is why we're in the mess we're in today. If you separate your religious faith from the rest of life, odds are you don't actually believe that stuff to begin with.
"Render unto Caesar" is terrible advice, and another reason why I maintain that America's religious fundamentalists are practicing the wrong religion.
And btw, your friend steve-b was as loud as anyone on this forum, and often trumpeted his "religion" in order to slam creationists.
Unfortunately, in my mind people on the same side of various issues tend to blur together. Apparently this was not steve-b at all but someone else.
I apologize to you, to steve-b, and to everyone for this error.
