No, seriously, there’s been a shift in the way the people use the word evangelical. I’ll have to dig it up, but I saw a street interview recently where a reporter person is interrogating a man identifying as an evangelical who when prodded on the teachings of Jesus responded with “I don’t believe in all that Jesus stuff, I’m an atheist”. Apparently a lot of people are identifying as evangelicals as a political identity, not as a religious identity. Evangelicals literally are no longer Christians anymore.
