You act as if "conscience" is an objecively good thing, and not just the result of a bunch of totally arbitrary social expectations.
Gay people who grew up in conservative families often have a conscience that makes them feel bad about being gay. Gay people looking for safe spaces where they aren't reminded that they spent 18 years being told they are bad people is imminently reasonable.
Abused wives often feel guilty about leaving their husbands. Finding safe spaces where they don't have to feel guilty about doing the right thing is imminently reasonable.
So, no, it's not unreasonable to find places where you don't have to "deal with your conscience"
