Is there a religious litmus test to be Republican or to be conservative? Must one be Christian to be either Republican or even American? And I do not believe in a literal interpretation of Genesis, but I am Christian. I don't believe in a limited God.

Don't believe in a limited God, but believe in a limiting God, a jealous God instead. Being a Christian as well as being a Republican is all about choosing the right path over the wrong one. God, nation, family, no ifs and buts.
Just cherrypicking in what you want to believe like you're shopping at walmart's and 'tolerating' any other absurd, blasphemic or murderous position can't be the right way.
The Bible tells of the conflict between those who truely believe and those who don't. Don't you agree that this is the true war we're in?

"And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand."
Mark 3:24-25.

"I don't know that atheists should be considered citizens, nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God."
George Bush Senior

A literal interpretation of Genesis is inconsistent the observation of God's Creation. Since man is Fallen and imperfect, then it is not the physical world around us that is in question but the interpretation of Scripture. To claim a literal reading of Genesis is correct, then you are saying God is a liar, which borders on the blasphemous.
