Aw. Hell. Naw.

Theocracy is a form of totalitarianism, it has nothing to do with conservatism. It (theocracy) can be reactionary, which is a trait of the far-right spectrum. Still not conservative, though.

Even the classically “socialist” Soviet and Maoist regimes co-opted this tactic to impose their power. In effect, nothing really changed from the old times except the name of the center of the cult of worship. Everything else, was, well, conserved.
