It's a myth that conservatives protect hierarchy because they think they'll be on top one day. It's because they think societal problems boil down to someone in a position of power that they didn't "deserve".
Almost all conservative moments can be described as putting the "right" people back in charge (or as removing the undeserved from power). Hierarchy is the through-line of conservatism. I can think of conservatives who hate religion, who want big government, and high taxes. I can't think of any conservative who wants equality.
