Because conservatism is a religion. It is very easy to see as an atheist.

I remember Reagan giving a speech in which he said that the economy was not going to recover unless people believed in it. I had been raised to see Capitalism as an objectively superior system, based on facts and figures.

But it is clear: we believe in “the dignity of labor” but treat workers as just another commodity to be disposed of when no longer needed.

We believe in “family values” but make it nearly impossible for working families to survive and provide their children with the education and training to make a better life for themselves.

And we believe in “Individual initiative” which translates to the right of individuals and families with limited incomes and assets to negotiate one-on-one with multi-billion-dollar international corporations for terms of employment, insurance coverage and financial services.
