The two US parties do kinda collaborate.  I get the feeling both mainstream parties would like to disown their own religion voters but realize what an important constituency they are.  Reasoning: in general, religious people tend to have bigger families, or bigger families tend toward religion, take your pick.  Families are the most effective way to propagate memesets.  

 

So like it or not, the support of religious groups is critical to a political coalition’s present and future.  Conclusion: political parties may dislike but still need religious voting blocs.
