I used the term "race" based on Federal law regarding protected classes.

As for political and religious beliefs, for the most part, there're one and the same.  The basis or foundation of governance is largely religious beliefs:

US/Europe = Judeo/Christian
Middle East (excl. Israel) = Islamic
Israel = Judaism
China = Confucionism = CCP
India = Hinduism

GOP = Judeo/Christian
Democrat = Confusionism?
