I agree with you. Basic and universal religious principles teach sobriety, care, realizing that everything belongs to God and should be used appropriately with care. Humans aren’t the lords of all they survey, and a rapacious attitude of greed and exploitation and hedonism is far from conservative.

Exactly, and it was the stark absence of that kind of attitude in Communist Russia that led directly to the Chernobyl reactor's primitive, slipshod design and its eventual destruction.
