How did social and religious conservatives respond to the cultural upheavals of the 1960s?

Social and religious conservatives responded to the cultural upheavals of the 1960s with "social conservatism" and "renewed conservative grassroots activism". Conservatism is a political ideology focused on the preservation of traditional values and beliefs, hearkening back to values believed to be present at the American founding.
