Okay, we're even with Constitutional Conservatism (CC) One and Theocratical Conservatism (TC) One.

You count me on the side of "Theocratical Conservatism"? Where do you put Benjamin Franklin, the noted Deist?

When an impasse had been reached at the Continental Congress, Benjamin Franklin called for prayer with these words:
"I have lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? I therefore beg leave to move--that henceforth prayers imploring the assistance of Heaven, and its blessings on our deliberations, be held in this Assembly every morning before we proceed to business"
