Looking over the questions some more. I honestly hope that they don't think that religiosity (if it's a word) and all that it entails, such as abortion and other such things, is a sign of conservatism. I have met some very conservative secular people, and I have to admit, they make a ton more sense than your religious variety of conservatives.

Anti-abortion, anti-gay and anti-contraception are all socially conservative positions, so they move the dot upwards. The fact that they are related to religion isn't really important as far as this goes.

I have seen die-hard conservatives, both socially and economically, who don't have any problems with those. Those are purely religious problems, and frankly, they give conservatives a bad name. They should just be labeled as religious and leave it at that.
