Fun fact: The bible does not condemn rape. The bible has a couple of rules requiring a victim to marry the rapist, but only if he gets caught.

Conservatives have never had a problem with rape. Never.

There's also that wholesome bible story where Lot threw his daughters to a mob of rapists and was referred to as an "honorable man" for it.

The bible is full of misogyny, incest, rape, and quite frankly doesn't treat women as people. It's a shitty book with shitty ideas from the bronze age.

They do care about rape, but not quite the way you're thinking. Those rules you mentioned about having to marry the rapist? That's what they care about. Basically, young unmarried women are property of their fathers. When they marry, they become property of their husbands. If you rape an unmarried young woman, you're stealing her father's property, and the marriage pact sets it right.

So it's actually much more fucked up then not having any problem with rape at all.
