It depends on how you define the religious right.
If you mean to lose many of those who are against the anything goes mentality of drugs, perverted sexual practices, abortion on demand at any stage, etc. then no that would not be in the (R's) best interest. Far too many social conservatives who believe in traditional values/morals make up the (R's), whether they are particularly religious or not.
To lose them would be a liberals dream of splitting the party so the Democrats (who have been hijacked by the far left) could win.
Both of the established parties are losing support. Since the beginning of 2017, voters who classify themselves as independents are increasingly in the majority with 40+%.
Truth is people are fed up with what some term the "duopoly," the career politicians of both parties whose main goal is to be reelected and to do the bidding of special interests.
Also democrats are advised not to delude themselves with respect to the "new demographic." All the republican establishment has to do to bring out masses of voters (including independents) is to run ads featuring the faces of Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
Who will the independents vote for in a primary?
Still leaves our choice for POTUS determined by the 2 major parties.

The Right will say that the Indes will support them and the Left will make the same claim, both are delusional and proof that they do not actually understand Independents, the concept is foreign to Party Faithful.
Just as soon as the Cult of the Braying Jackass divorces itself from the Snowflake Left and the drug/gang/welfare underclass -- which ain't gonna happen anytime soon because they are "wise" enough to know that they can't win without their loyalty, (bought mostly at the expense of the responsible minority).
I don't define them and neither do you. They are who they are.

23 states allow independents to vote in partisan primaries. More should do so but the party elites and special interests want to control the nomination process,

New York made the change your party affiliation so far ahead of the primary season, lots of people could not vote. IIRC, 6 months. DD and grandson could not vote because they were registered independent.
Texas has open primaries. One declares their affiliation when they show up at a polling place. If I vote R, I cannot vote in the D run off.
I kinda like the system used by some states that put all candidates for a position on the ballot. The top 2 or 3 vote getters are on the ballot in the general.
