“”Conservative” conceivably means “conserve the status quo”, including worship of the current Establishment.”

That is sometimes partially so, for some. However, there are many fundamental, bedrock principles that conservatism is built upon. These principles (liberty, natural law, self-reliance, religious freedom, etc.) don't change; even though policies based on them change as circumstances warrant.

Today especially, “ ‘conserve the status quo’, including worship of the current Establishment” is in direct conflict with “liberty, natural law, and self-reliance.”

Many so-called “conservatives” and “conservative stalwarts” including George Will and the late Charles Krauthammer, seem willing to forgo the latter in favor of the former.
