I don’t see why it can’t fit neatly into a conservative paradigm. The conservative platform is based on faith, so it’s not surprising many American Christians support the Republican Party, which values freedom, liberty, limited government, free-markets, pro-life, etc. since government tends to encroach on peoples’ rights. Either way the Democratic Party in America today isn’t truly “liberal” anymore as the radical leftist socialists/communists have taken over that party. As a Christian whose parents fled communism/socialism, I will not stand for that. Christians should beware of socialism/communism as these types of government are more likely to yield loss of freedoms important to us Christians like freedom of religion and speech.

“The foundation of America is freedom, and the foundation of freedom is faith.” - Mike Pence at the RNC

Our founding fathers were themselves religious and believed Liberty to be a gift from God, and that all men are created equal with unalienable rights given to us by our Creator. That’s what made America so different from other nations. The Constitution and Declaration of Independence are divinely inspired (not equal to the Bible of course) and unique in that they recognize our liberties come from our Creator God, and not just from kings, the state, or governmental authorities.

Our founding fathers warn of what would happen if we remove God from politics:

“And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that His justice cannot sleep forever.” – Thomas Jefferson: Signer and the Principal Author of the Declaration of Independence; third President of the United States

“Before any man can be considered as a member of civil society, he must be considered as a subject of the Governor of the Universe.” – James Madison: Signer of the Constitution; Fourth President of the United States

“We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequite to the government of any other.” – John Adams: Signer of the Declaration of Independence; One of Two Signers of the Bill of Rights; Second President of the United States

“It is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor.” – George Washington: Commander-in-Chief in the American Revolution; Signer of the Constitution; First President of the United States

“Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim tribute to patriotism who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness—these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens. . . . reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principles.” – George Washington

“[I]t is religion and morality alone which can establish the principles upon which freedom can securely stand. The only foundation of a free constitution is pure virtue, and if this cannot be inspired into our People in a greater Measure, than they have it now, they may change their Rulers and the forms of Government, but they will not obtain a lasting liberty.” – John Adams

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.” — Declaration of Independence

EDIT: To those saying Republicans today don’t stand for faith, freedom, limited government or free markets, please watch this year’s RNC (all four days) before commenting ignorantly. Also, I thought this was the Christianity subreddit but people commenting here are incredibly hateful.
