In 2012 atheist whites went 58-41 for Obama while Protestant whites (including Mormons) went 69-31 for Romney. The latter group tracks the national vote precisely though. Non-religious whites leaned more Romney in NV, Catholic whites less so.
Overall, Romney did worse among white voters in Nevada than nationally, mostly because his strongest voting group, protestants is a smaller share of the vote there.
SImilarly, evangelicals is both a bigger share of the white vote nationally and went more strongly for Romney but the complement of white evangelicals went better for him in Nevada.
Abortion shows a similar pattern, Romney does better among pro-choice voters and worse among pro-life ones in Nevada compared to the nation.
Also, according to the exit polling Nevada is substantially more urban than the nation. Not sure of the racial composition though.
