The Enlightenment can be seen as a revolution in thinking that begun in the seventeenth century that emphasized reason and science over the authority of traditional religion. Adam Smith was a Scottish economist, philosopher and author as well as a moral philosopher. In his book The Wealth of Nations (1776) he defined the working of market economies and supported principles of liberty. His ideas fit in the ideas of the enlightenment because of his profoundly original contributions to moral philosophy and natural jurisprudence. His work contributed to the development of modern economics and moral philosophy.

What role did business and religion play in the conservative movement?

Quite often, those on the left of the political spectrum dismiss political conservative ideology as the product of religious fervor.

At first blush, this makes sense. After all, the conservative movement is populated by people of faith. Christians, Evangelicals, and Catholics tend to embrace the key aspects of conservatism, which include limited government, fiscal discipline, free enterprise, a strong national defense, and traditional family values. This is why many conservative Christians side with Republicanism politically. The Republican Party is most associated with championing these conservative values.
