I’ve [found one that has some info on religion and its influence-](http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2008/11/05/state/n111547S31.DTL)

> Religious voters also were decisive in getting Proposition 8 passed. Of the seven in 10 voters who described themselves as Christian, two-thirds backed the initiative. Ninety percent of voters who said they had no religious affiliation opposed the measure, but they were a much smaller portion of the electorate.
I’m hoping for one that asked for motivations- did those who identify as religious base their vote on their beliefs, or for some other reason- ie, it’s harmful to society in general, polygamy. Anyone know of one?

Don’t have an answer for you, but according to Dan Savage, the largest influence was older voters.
