It's because people are adapting to the current situation. Many conservatives used to be fairly libertarian in mindset where the belief was you do your own thing and they do theirs as long as everyone is free to do as they like. It has become obvious this doesn't work though and only can exist as a transitional period before some ideology starts to force itself on the other such as what we're seeing with the left and their woke-ism. Many religious conservatives see their religion as the solution to the problems we face today and see atheism as the reason things are so bad.

Ever read Dostoevsky? Specifically, his book Demons? Much has been said on it but an interpretation is that atheism is what leads to decadence. In short, the concept of God provides an ideal for people to strive toward and when you remove that ideal people no longer strive for anything and the nihilism that takes over leads to degradation. Many conservatives of the religious kind are turning to religion as a solution to the problems and truly believe this sort of idea that atheists are in fact the problem with society for this very reason.

I think you're a bit harsh on the religious conservatives because most are just trying to find something good to cling onto and believe in so that they feel there is a solution to the problems today. If the way the religious people won't accept you is what turns you away from "conservatism" then you don't have very good beliefs in the first place. If you aren't prepared to believe your beliefs no matter whether anyone accepts you for them or not then you need to rethink your beliefs. They are either the truth or not. Leftists are good at believing whatever they're told for social justice points. You don't want to be like them, do you? If your beliefs can be bought through induction into some social circle then you don't really have any beliefs. You're a mercenary willing to lend support toward whichever beliefs supposedly give you the most social acceptance. That's how many boys end up chopping off their penises.
