    Any given church denomination may not be hierarchical, but conservatism itself (and thus conservative denominations) favor rigid social hierarchies. The church itself, as the deliverer of God’s word on earth and thus the sole arbiter of what’s moral and right, naturally should be at the top of that hierarchy.

    You know, as long as you don’t belong to one of those other denominations. They’re heretics.
