I think you may have missed mine, but you ended up affirming it as well. To wit: this is just classical liberalism. Calling it "conservative" in the context in which we understand these terms today isn't convincing. Modern (and post-modern) conservatism is actively hostile to this very concept.
And this is why the founders erected a wall between church and state: Because they were traditional conservatives (aka classical liberals) and they didn't want churches to become the state.
Thank you for reaffirming my point, even if you didn't understand it
