<Ever since a certain part of the country has been called The Bible Belt. >

No, it is NOT true that the term "Bible Thumper" refers to deeply religious people. Although a relatively broad term, it pertains to certain (mostly) evangelical fundamentalist parts of the Christian faith. It's almost synonomous with the term "Elmer Gantry" in the case of a minister... as far as I know.

Newt Gingrich is no bible thumper... that's for sure.
