Religion.

The only religion the GOP cares about is evangelical Christianity. If they don't realize that, they're delusional

Nope. False. All politicians who have a faith based base have to care about all faiths because faith in general is what is protected. Protecting Islam, or Judaism as antithetical as it sounds boldters the Christian faith as well.

Once a national religion is defined and enforced they could then stop carrying about all others.

They don't care about any other religion and want Christianity to be the state religion. They're pushing it at all levels of government

They have to care, what they want and what they need to get what they want are two different things entirely.
