Evangelicals are any of the protestant denominations that believe strongly in preaching the word of God to unbelievers. They are a diverse group and have no strong correlation with pedophiles. There may be small cults within the evangelical umbrella that are linked to pedophiles.
I think your definition is far too broad, as I've heard Evangelicals describe themselves as a specific religious sect stemming out of the 2nd Great Awakening movement.
Your description would be that basically all protestants are Evangelicals. Because all protestants generally do believe in preaching the word of God to non-believers, as it is a moral and religious imperative to save souls.
I have never once heard your claim so I think you're full of it.
That is literally what an evangelical is and you cannot be a Christian without being an evangelical because if you do not believe th way to salvation is the Gospel of Jesus Christ then you're not a Christian
Sooooo, you're saying Evangelicals are literally interchangeable with Christians. One can't be an Evangelical without being a Christian (makes sense), and one can't be a Christian without being an Evangelical. (Doesn't make sense)
If that were the case, I wouldn't be hearing Christians argue about the role of Evangelicals within Christianity generally, and within politics specifically.
You've broadened the term to meaninglessness.
