Leaders of the GOP are encouraging voters of faith to cast their vote in November, saying the Democratic Party is targeting people of faith.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital spoke with prominent members of the Republican Party at the Faith & Freedom Coalition\u2019s Road to Majority conference in Washington, D.C., about the role faith voters will play in the upcoming election.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018They play a huge role, a decisive role,\u2019 Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., told Fox News Digital. \u2018There\u2019s no majority for the Republican Party without voters of faith. And they\u2019re going to decide this election. So we need them to turn out.\u2019<\/p>\n

Tulsi Gabbard, former Hawaii congresswoman and candidate on former President Donald Trump\u2019s shortlist for vice president, said the Democratic Party \u2018is trying to erase God from every facet of our public life.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018We will play a critical role, especially at a time where we have the Biden-Harris administration and the Democrat elite who, are fundamentally against freedom, including freedom of religion, and have a long track record that threatens people of faith and spirituality,\u2019 Gabbard told Fox.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018You look at those things that happened several years ago, and you look at how that has escalated at a much higher level, an abuse of power, a targeting of people of faith and the Democratic Party that, unfortunately, is trying to erase God from every facet of our public life. Now more than ever people of faith, people of spirituality need to stand up, to defend this fundamental, God-given right and stop those who are trying to take it away from us.\u2019<\/p>\n

Trump delivered the keynote address at the event for the major Christian grassroots organization in his continued outreach to voters of faith, a demographic that makes up a large voting block of the Republican Party.<\/p>\n

\u2018This is a moment for folks of faith to stand up and be counted and be engaged in the public square, in the marketplace of ideas, and certainly in the November election,\u2019 Daniel Cameron, former attorney general of Kentucky, said. \u2018I think the more folks that are Christians get engaged in this process, the better the turnout is going to be.\u2019<\/p>\n

Arizona Senate candidate Kari Lake told Fox that the Christian and Jewish communities are fighting for their First Amendment rights in November.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018I think it\u2019s going to be massive. I mean, we\u2019re seeing so many things happening that go against our morals and beliefs. For people who are Christian, people who are Jewish right now of all faiths, and they\u2019re realizing that we have a unique right in the United States is called the First Amendment, our freedom to practice a religion of our choice,\u2019 Lake said in an interview. \u2018And if we watch our Constitution crumble, we don\u2019t have that ability anymore. This is the last bastion for freedom of religion in this country. And we have to save that and protect that.\u2019<\/p>\n

Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, said that faith voters \u2018are going to play a huge role in this election.\u2019<\/p>\n

Alveda King, niece of Martin Luther King Jr., also noted that \u2018voters of faith have an obligation and a responsibility to unify, to get out and vote. It will make all the difference in the world.\u2019<\/p>\n

The Republicans also shared how their faith is at the center of their political philosophy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018The way I was raised, we weren\u2019t raised to talk about politics. We were raised to talk about what was right, what was wrong, what was fair, what was unfair, and ultimately what God said about it,\u2019 Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson, R-N.C., told Fox News Digital about his faith. \u2018We learned those tenets before we ever spoke about politics, before I knew what a Republican or Democrat was. And so, while they\u2019ve shaped me since I\u2019ve been an adult, those issues have shaped me since I\u2019ve been a child.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
