I guess I've been wrongly reading evangelical as (roughly defined) religious person whose religious beliefs are a very important aspect of life

But I guess my definition is off. But then what is an evangelical?

Responses:

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
