The Republican Party, despite its reputation nowadays as being the "Bible Belt" Party (which implies white evangelical Protestants, especially but not exclusively in the South), is actually fairly diverse in terms of the religious backgrounds of its voters and supporters (and there are a good deal of differences within the different mainline denominations, to say nothing of the many, many evangelical denominations and the phenomenon of "non-denominational" Christianity). Plus, the more devout (white) Catholics are, the more conservative they tend to be politically (though there's also a huge gender gap among white Catholics....) And what of the LDS Church or certain communities of Orthodox Jews? Hard to find a Democrat in those communities.

The two/three factors that all these people seem to have in common:

They are (non-Hispanic) white, they are (mostly) Christian, and they have a relatively high level of "religiosity (going to church on a regular basis for worship services, being involved in donating time, money, and energy to their churches, etc.) compared to the general population.

With all that being said: which of the choices in the poll is generally the most dominant in the modern Republican Party?
