An individual's political party is freely chosen. There are fundamental reasons why an individual chooses to label themselves a Republican or a Democrat. Their faith group is also freely chosen, and reasonable generalities can be drawn from that choice. You can know more about an individual by knowing their political party than by knowing any other single fact. Check any decent political science textbook.
