I'd scratch nuber three from that list, because a number of fiscal conservatives aren't real big on religion even if they're not athiests.
But what I'd include in that lists are people who think the Constitution shouldn't be tinkered with and tend to fight for preserving traditions considered idealic [even if some really aren't]. Also, people who want to "conserve" the environment [see Barry Goldwater].
