My disillusionment with religion is mostly due to people not practicing what they preach and/or what their holy book says.

Want to make a religious leader/adult mad as a kid? Ask them why we aren't doing more for the poor like Jesus would do. Source: Me as a kid. I didn't ask in a snotty way, genuinely asked and got rebuked for it.

I often feel as if I follow the Bible closer than a number of, ostensibly, "religious" people.

What's the quote? Something like "I like your Christ, I do not like his followers"? I'm probably butchering it.

I was raised in the church, I internalized the teachings and methodologies, however voting for people who try to do those things is met with scorn. Most "religious" people would rather vote for the person talking about how much they love the Bible (or <insert holy book here>) rather than the people actually doing things inline with the Bible.

"Feed the poor... unless it will raise my taxes"
