At least one of them isn't out to deny rights of certain people though.
Also, other than a couple handfuls, I doubt that a lot of these so called religious politicians are really religious. They know what they need to get votes and they pander, I doubt many are true believers.

Obama gave nearly 20 million Americans health care coverage. It may not be perfect, but to those 20 million people, I think they're much happier that Obama won the election instead of McCain/Romney.
I don't buy the argument that government doesn't impact daily lives. A poorly run government that gets distracted by ideological nonsense and has no interest in actually governing would ruin a lot of people's days.
