Merriam-Webster defines this term as "objection on moral or religious grounds (as to service in the armed forces or to bearing arms)". "Conscientious" refers to something that is dictated by your conscience, not personal benefit or profit. If you want additional background information, a Google search of "conscientious objection" returns some useful results.
