In my opinion people say they care about a laundry list of things but really only care deeply about a couple, or sometimes a single issue.
For your abortion comment I think the answer is pretty simple. They believe it is murder, and that makes it black and white for them. In their eyes "letting" a woman die is the lesser evil compared to actively ending the pregnancy and committing "murder". I believe abortion is healthcare but I can also understand their position however much I disagree. Trump is the guy who got them an abortion victory, regardless of whatever else he's done he accomplished their one true goal in their eyes.
Also you seem to equate Republicans and actively Religious people as the same group. People can be nuanced, not every trumper is religious. The majority I've met in person probably haven't been to church since their mom made them as a child, or never went at all.
