I'm not convinced. Conservatism, in general, believes some institutions are necessary to promote general welfare - but only the ones they subscribe to/agree with. Religion is fine as long as it is theirs. A conservative christian generally isn't ok with conservative Islam, even though so many things are similar (women at home, no LGBTQ , etc). School is fine as long as it doesn't teach the wrong things. Other Christians are fine so long as they aren't OK with some things. And so on. Yet, in general, institutions that force one to help pay for another's life aren't considered good, even though things like a healthy safety net (welfare system) promote the general welfare of peoples.
