According to his biographer, he is agnostic. What is it about that group of people that he should want to appeal to them.

Agnostic or not, he is also an astute political operative who realizes that the "religious right" is a bloc of voters who can be counted on to go to the polls and vote for the candidate that speaks to their moral and religious issues, needs and concerns.
By tailoring the Republican message to them, he's ensuring Republican candidates of a huge support base from this group
18-25 year-olds outnumber this group, but as they don't really get out and vote, they don't get courted by Karl or the Republicans. Just think of what the administration would be putting out there if that bloc of voters actually started participating!

Of course he does! That's what he's paid to do. And his only reason for appealing to the religious right, or to anyone else, is to get votes. It's called politics.

Because the religious right are probably the most conservative, wide based group of people in America, AND they vote ! Republicans are conservative and want to stay in power. So they use them to stay in power.

Because religeous zealots are easily brainwashed much like NRA types. They both are cabable of becoming emotional over a issue to the point of violence even. Once you get someone like that convinced that "you" are their savior and mentor and you alone fight for there freedom and rights they are like putty...The relig right is a block of votes the president needs to suurvive..most of the religeous right is insane and ready to be led.

Because he is a person without any morals at all he would sleep with satan if it would get him votes. The religious right likes him because they swallow the lies he spews out all the time that addresses their belief system.

It is his job. He uses the right in hope to fire them up and get them out to vote. He would work just as hard for anyone that paid him enough.

They are fanatics, and thus are easier to mobilize to go to the polls, than are people who don't have such strong feelings about issues. It's all about voter turnout.

They have very high voting percentages. Target the ones you know will vote for you.
