Have you ever read Confucius? He's the very definition of blinkered conservatism. The guy thought the first emperors were morally pure.

Absolutely, extremely conservative, and it predates Christianity by hundreds of years. But are we going to say they fear and hate everything?

Broad generalizations apply broadly and can have connotations that aren't intended.
