Well who you pray to affects who pray with, which in turn affects who you vote for. Doesn't it?

  They're correlated perhaps, but there is a huge variance in political views, at least among the major religions. This is especially true with economic policy, which really has little to do with religious belief, but even with a lot of social policy its true. That is, while there probably aren't many devout Catholics who support late stage abortion, the opinions on things like LGBT rights, the environment, refugee and immigration policy, homelessness, access to education, and more will vary wildly between devout Catholics. That second part is also true for devout Protestants and Jews and Muslims and Buddhists. Sure the means might not sit in exactly the same places, but that's very different than the political spectrum in the US, which is essentially bimodal.
