I describe myself as very politically conservative, and folks are surprised when I'm an anti-christian heathen. When I say conservative, I mean something like: cmalu turni sarji When other folks here say it, they tend to mean: slabu tadji sarji To answer your question, I'm not sure the words exist yet, but it wouldn't be hard to make them.
