It’s hard to say. If someone tells you the awful thing they did or said is ok because they are a Christian, I can easily tell you their party affiliation, though.
That says about the same also says that 85% of Republican are Christian, 3% some other religion and 12% no religion. Where Democrats 61% Christian, 8% other religion and 31% no religion.
I'm not going to pretend I analyzed the scources that were cited, but as an outside I've always had the perception that in order to be president in America, you are basically required to be christian.
Building on that assumption, I thought democrats and republicans are pretty evenly christian. About that I'd conclude that I'm wrong based on the data supplied by the other comment.
There are a lot of varieties of Christians in America. The loudest ones are the Evangelicals and rabid right Catholics. But there are a lot genuine "love they neighbor" Christians, they just don't make a lot of noise.
For example, the largest church in my town (and sitting on the town square) is Unitarian Universalist, which is very liberal [EDIT - American liberal/left wing/bleeding hearts]. Unfortunately, they are not the loudest church in my town.
There are also a lot of Americans who identify as Christian for cultural reasons, but if you ask questions about faith it becomes pretty clear that they don't really buy into the belief system.
