I'm not so sure it would be any different in any democractic government.
Ppl are more likely to support/vote those who share similar views to themselves.
Politicians just market themselves accordingly.

I'm sure if the nation was predominantly non-religious,
you'd see a lot of athiest/agnostic/apathetic candidates.
It's not just politics, it's everywhere
It's has more to do with marketing than anything else imo.

It's really not as bad as groups like the Taliban.
The candidates might tell voters they are Christian,
but when they are in power they don't necessarily justify their decisions on what the Bible says.
Groups like the Taliban are imposing policy directly from the Quaran.
