In reality should this even be discussed? Everyone is all about the separation of church and state. I find this just interesting to see what religion usually votes what way, but the people who make a big deal about a president discussing his religion could really throw a fit about this.
Some people are not for the separation of church and state. There are a few people out there who believe America is strictly a Christian nation and wish it to be run using Christian morals and standards.
A significant portion of the population believes the U.S. was and is a Christian nation. Are they correct? Are these Christian voters switching to the Republicans because of religion or something else?
Are Christian ethics vastly different from other religions or the nonreligious? Does anyone argue for lying, stealing, murdering, hating, bullying, enslaving, etc.?
Jewish, Islamic, and Christian Faith members really all share the same morals and ideals. So for someone to envision America as just a Christian nation is in correct because the ideals found in Christianity are also found in the other two monolithic religions.
As for why people jumped on the republican bandwagon, I would have to side with the economic situation in America and not a with the religious reasons that some might claim. In 08 we elected democrats like crazy due to our displeasure with the Republicans and the Bush policies, now Americans are frustrated with the economic policies of Obama and feel like the democrats aren't doing enough so they sided with the republicans, I don't feel like religions played too big of a role in this election.
