Greetings, new friend. I hope you come to enjoy this board. I do want to take some time to inform you that we have a political containment thread here. I would suggest you target posts along these lines in that thread when you next feel the need to post.
In answer to your query, if Western conservatism was in the configuration it was some 40-60 years ago, I rather doubt you'd even need to ask the question, there was more than enough crossover between both traditional Christianity and that outlook at that time. However, since the late 1990s the situation has degraded significantly. For example, Pat Buchanan used to be a massive force in the early 90s, and is now a bit of a fringe figure. Most conservative movements have bowed to left-wing social pressures since then, and as a result the kinds of people you'd see in the 70s or 80s aren't there any more. Really most center-right parties would have been largely considered center-left back during the same period.
This is, to tie it back into the faith, the same problem has happened in Western Christianity in large part as well. You've seen, with the recent excitement over the American Supreme Court, both the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) and one or two larger evangelical groups (which in the United States seem to be ecumenical associations of not only the larger Protestant faction, but also the OCA - the Eastern church - participates). In effect the man who was in the running for the court, who seems to be inoffensive overall, was blasted by all three of the main sections of the Trinitarian movement. Since the 1960s western clergy have also become progressively, well, progressive and this is now starting to become more apparent. You've seen similar friction with churches in Europe vs AfD and the new Italian government, so this is hardly localized.
As a result, you can look at the overarching nationalist platform and see that (very oddly) most Christian participation in it is from the laity who have been largely abandoned by their church. Religious officials want nothing to do with it, for whatever reason; I'm sure it varies between organizations. Furthermore, there's a lot more non-theists involved in this most recent re-invigoration of traditionalism in the West, probably in large part due to this conflict. In the side issue with actual fascists, non- and anti-theism/Christianity is even more pronounced. And overall there is still the pressing issue of the divorce between remaining traditional conservative politicians (many of whom have little supernatural moral conviction on top of their scarcity), and faith organizations that promote over leftism despite many clear incompatibilities that liberalism has with just the Bible itself (forget traditions!).
Many anons here say, that voting won't solve the issue. This is overall correct, but not because of their authoritarian impulses. Rather, on the secular end you have weak and unfaithful men, and on the religious end they are in many cases wicked and hypocritical. Imagine the last days of the Roman Empire mixed with the situation in Judea 2000 years ago, and you'll find that both could describe what we are seeing here quite nicely. The moral/spiritual center, and additionally the secular organizational center of Western society are both completely disordered.
What will solve the situation, is probably war of some kind. While I don't want that to occur, pressures are building up that will eventually force that hand. What release bursts first, that remains to be seen. I lean towards some event with China, but there's half a dozen other things that are not unlikely either. Once the smoke clears, we will no longer be in a recognizable landscape, for better or worse.

I don't recall the section of the Bible where it is suggested we either live in a state of anarchy until the last days, nor one where one may only be governed by (effectively) non-Christians. Non-participation in organizational affairs seems ill-advised…
