I guess I've been wrongly reading evangelical as (roughly defined) religious person whose religious beliefs are a very important aspect of life - ty97 Mar 3, 08:33 6
- I think about it in terms of whether the church is focussed on actively spreading its message, the idea of being re-born and how much the Bible is - Roger More Mar 3, 08:47 1
  - This is my impression as well, pretty much. -- nm - mara Mar 3, 08:52
- flip that and reverse it. -- nm - Spawn Mar 3, 08:37
- My opinion - Strongbad Mar 3, 08:36
- Evangelical is essentially "conservative protestant". That still leaves you non-protestant and liberal/mainline protestant. -- nm - Ender Mar 3, 08:35
- theocrat-in-training -- nm - sweet baboo Mar 3, 08:35
I look at the term Evangelicals as more of a belief system than just church goers -- nm - eag Mar 3, 08:32
