Do you think it is fragmenting the Republican Party?
Why are the evangelicals so active in nominating candidates that support wars?

Evangelical Christians had much more control in the Republican party five to ten years ago than they do now. One common factor uniting the groups is that they value loyalty and dogmatic adherence to a particular position far above truth and adjusting strategy to meet true facts. They are also both very judgmental groups of people, who believe that they (white Christians) are more important than everyone else and that everyone else should think and act they way they do. This makes it much easier for them to wage war across the world imposing their worldview on other people and cultures. Does a Muslim person in the middle east, who has always been raised to believe that government should be led by respected Muslim religious leaders, have any interest in or use for our democtratic form of government or in being a Christian? Absolutely not. Does that matter to evangelical Christians or republicans? Unfortunately not.
They have shot themselves in the foot through their own hipocrasy. They preach values, but get caught stealing, cheating, and in sex scandals. They preach conservative spending, but spend the public money to record debt every time they get in office. They preach patriotism, but leave Americans to suffer while they wage pointless wars around the world.
In recent years, the Republican party has started to fracture due to the extreme positions of evangelical Christians and conservative Republicans. They are hate mongers who lie, hide the truth, and get caught in sex scandals. Fortunately, people are opening their eyes and fewer are voting for them.
you ask this without a shred of evidence, but when Feinstein, (D) from CA was ready to surrender our soldiers and aircrew to China to save her husbands business deals no one spoke up. When he tried to sell the CA ports to China, no one spoke up.
when Bill Clinton (D), gave our Sat-com frequencies to China, no one cared.
But call the Dem/Libs a communist, and they get bent.
it is a mighty large voting block.
