Here's the equation as simply as it can be put;

right wing religious whackos + right wing neocon republican whackos = the present admin and congressional controlling party.

And it's becoming more and more frequent that the churches are actively supporting republicans, even in classicly Democratic areas. And, republican politicians willingly associate themselves with the worst of the religious whackos. Untill that stops, and it won't unless it starts costing them elections, the repug party is the religious whackjob party.
