That would be because a good chunk of the religious right was, until recently, Jim Crow Democrat.

Most are only conservative on religious topics, and are liberal on most everything else. If their liberalism is attacked, they claim that it is an attack on their religion, and round and round we go.

Most of the Religious Right moved to the GOP in response to Nixon's Southern Strategy. As has been pointed out before, they are mostly W.J.Bryan Progressives; they like Big Government on "their" issues.
