A general term that can include many belief systems that can get confused together. Religious Conservative, Neo-Conservative, and Constitutional Conservatism are sometimes confused as if they are all the same.
For one example, a constitutional conservative may also believe in Christianity and therefore an unfamiliar liberal person may free associate and have knee jerk reaction to believe that the conservative wants to combine the church and state.
A constitutional conservative would want a powerless federal government and abhor government enforcement of theocracy. Oppositely, a religious conservative would want a government that is powerful enough to use those powers of federal government for the enforced values learned in religion.
It serves the purpose of liberals and progressives to cloud the conventional wisdom that defines a US Conservative.
