Here's a sample of the GOP view at a state level:

Lawmakers Seek to Eliminate Illinois Sales Tax on Fuel for Yachts
On February 13, Davidsmeyer, who was recently appointed to the job to replace ex-State Rep. Jim Watson (R-Jacksonville) proposed legislation, House Bill 1559, that would eliminate the Illinois sales tax on motor fuel for “pleasure craft” sailing on the Mississippi, Ohio, and Wabash Rivers.
Yatcht owners from the St. Louis Yacht Club or Lindsay Yacht Club located in the Quad Cities will undoubtedly welcome the opportunity to sail their boats to Illinois and fill their tanks on tax-free Illinois fuel.

If y'own a yacht, y'can afford the sales tax on the fuel. Deal with it. Stuff like this makes it very clear as to who the GOP represents. The part of representation in favor of the religious -- that's just a smoke screen, in order to get away with these kinds of things.
Many know that. But many do not.
