The label of conservative does not necessarily mean conservative values however.  The Conservative Quakers are a distinct group from other Quaker organizations and, despite their name, are not conservative in all their values.  While they maintain traditional views on marriage, they have no stated opinion on abortion and while not describing themselves as pacifist, are against violence of all kinds, including the death penalty.  Their most liberal view is the traditional Quaker one of opposing all wars, claiming that there is no such thing as a just war.<ref>[http://www.conservativefriend.org/edminsterwar.htm]</ref>

The term [[Evangelical  Christian]] may be considered synonymous with conservative Christianity, depending on who is using it. Christian researcher and author George Barna defines "Evangelicals" as a subset of those who meet the basic criteria defining [[born again Christians]], but who also meet seven other doctrinal conditions.<ref>http://www.barna.org/barna-update/article/12-faithspirituality/15-christianity-is-no-longer-americans-default-faith</ref>
