The weakness of Conservatism is that it's an alliance, and some (not all) tendencies in the alliance are not just anti-intellectual, but also border on anti-human. Conservatives themseleves, treat these anti-humanists among them as a cute quirk - a strength - a sign of their diversity. Anti-humanists among conservatives are the reason I'm not a conservative. OK - so the socialists, and liberals both have their anti-humanists too. Given that, ... I must pick my politics on the basis of which - among all of you - have the least evil (& least influential) anti-humans! among you.
What do I mean by anti-human? I mean people who worship, and subsume their life, to an idea which is objectively harmful to humanity as a whole. I may be atheist, but I'm not one of these new atheists - like Francis. As a rule, I don't classify religions as anti-human (except some 'new' religions, and some fundamental ones).
