Not in the least from what I can understand of Social Conservatism. I'm not a religious person, so maybe someone with a socially conservative outlook on things could best explain it better. Fascism is usually defined by its economic, socialistic, and nationlistic outlook.

Having said that, from what I understand of social conservatism, it is the exact opposite of Fascism. Fascist, like all socialist, traditionally want to replace religious values with those scientifically "prescribed" by they state. Hitler wanted to replace Christianity with his racist pagan ideology. Mussolini wanted to restore a pagan Roman Empire. My own state of Virginia (as well as many other states) steralized blacks, indians, and the mentally ill.

Like most early followers of Marx, the old school Fascist thought religion is poison and wanted and did replace it with the idolatry of the state.

Social conservatives are classically liberal in the sense that they have freedom of association, even if those being associated with are undiserable to them. Fascist usually liquidate, seperate, or at the very least marginalize those they deem undesirable so they cannot infect the whole. They do this not only because of their morals, they do it because undesirables are a drain on society. This is what all socialism comes too, economics.

I don't think cultural conservatives are limited to economic theories based on their religious beliefs. Many of the devoutly anti-religious on the left debase the Republicans as being Christian. I know of too many Christians on the left who advocate "being your brother's keeper" through the government, which is socialism.
