The problem for the Democrats is they have harder time brain washing people with strong religious values. The strongly religious person is more aware of the concept of lies versus truth, and cannot be impacted as easily by faux news propaganda. The bible might say do not judge unless you be judged. This makes it harder to blindly accept faux news. The bible says the truth will set you free. They need to wait for hard data.
The affect, relative to the Democrats, is similar to a player trying getting a man or women to cheat, but with that man in women in love with their spouse. The man or woman may go along to a point, but after, they are harder to influence, than someone who is single; atheists. The question became, how do you undermine their love, so you can use them? The Democrats decided they will add pressure to their relationship with God, to increase friction. This is why the religious people voted for Trump. The religious know when they are being scammed, since their mind is trained to see long term right and wrong, and not relative truth and fad.
Trump was not a religious pin up boy on the surface. However, his actions spoke louder than his words. Trump has signed bills that protect religious liberties, as he had promised. This has made the left upset, since they were that that close, in terms of corrupting religion.
The main religions of the world have been around for centuries. They have seen the ups and downs of humanity. What remains are systems that are as close as possible to natural human living. Natural laws are considered to be part of God's law, if you assume God created the universe. Religion is about a connection to natural behavior.
If you go into the woods, to a natural place, natural does not have all the manmade logistics and chemicals we currently enjoy in culture. These manmade things are not natural to the earth. There are no hospitals or restaurants in nature. The question that religions have posed over the centuries, is how do you optimize humans, naturally, without using artificial and man made prosthesis? Nature does not have a natural welfare state, so you can't use this, since this is not natural. Their solution was charity, since animals help each other.
In terms of sexuality, only monogamy and celibacy will not create diseases that require man made cures, not found in nature. Marriage was not an arbitrary choice created on a whim. It was the only way not to create diseases, via natural living, that could harm the group. We could prove this by getting rid of all modern STD related medications and procedures for one year. We let nature run its course and then we add up all the sickness and death and see which behavior are still standing, the strongest and healthiest. It will be marriage and/or monogamy.
This is not arbitrary, but is base on hard science data that was learned the hard way over many centuries of trial and error. Promiscuity is man made since it requires man made intervention to be sustainable. Natural does not need manmade, anything, to work. That is the definition of natural. Natural foods use no man made additives anywhere along the entire process from growth to distribution.
If you took male homosexuality, and removed all man made prosthesis; protection from disease, as well as proactive and reactive cures for induced diseases, this behavior work not be naturally, stable and sustainable. It only works if we add unnatural and manmade factors to the equation. Religion is about natural and organic; simulating the simplicity of nature. Religion is not so much against gay people. The bible warns gays of the fruit of unnatural behavior under natural conditions; wage of sin is death due to disease. It is more of a heath warning for natural living.
In this respect, religion is not a friend to big money, since lots of money is made in support of unnatural behavior. Many of these businesses that support unnatural behavior also donate to the left. The left supports unnatural behavior since this creates social problems and requires big government to act as a mop. The entire welfare state is due to unnatural behavior.
Religion would choice marriage, monogamy and family. Family would include all living generations including the elderly. This was very efficient. Once this was disrupted, manmade prosthesis became more and more necessary, to compensate for unnatural. Smaller government and religion goes hand in hand since the smaller the government, the less manmade prosthesis, the more culture needs to default back to natural living.
The main point is there is a difference between natural and unnatural, Natural needs way less manmade. Unnatural needs way more manmade to compensate for lack of natural selection. Nature will not create disease and expense because this is selected. The disease and extra expense is there so it is not naturally selected.
