Evangelicalism is a global, interdenominational Protestant movement emphasizing the authority of the Bible, the necessity of being “born again” (conversion), the centrality of Christ’s atonement on the cross, and active, personal evangelism. Rooted in the 16th-century Reformation and 18th-century revivals, it focuses on sharing the “good news” of salvation. [1]
Core Beliefs and The Role of Scripture

• Biblicism: A high regard for the Bible as the ultimate, inerrant authority in matters of faith and practice. • Crucicentrism: A focus on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross as the only means of salvation. • Conversionism: The belief that individuals must have a personal, transformative experience of being “born again”. • Activism: A commitment to sharing the gospel (evangelism) and living out faith through social/political engagement. [2]

Evangelism and Global Reach

• Role of Evangelism: Evangelism is central, seen as a response to the “Great Commission” to share the gospel, often involving missionary work, distributing literature, and personal witnessing. • Global Presence: While having a massive, politically active presence in the United States, evangelicalism is a worldwide movement encompassing diverse ethnic and national backgrounds. [1, 3, 4]

Influence on Politics

• Conservative Values: In many contexts, particularly the US, evangelicalism is associated with socially and politically conservative views, often termed the “Christian Right”. • Public Policy: Evangelicals often engage in politics to influence issues like marriage, education, and reproductive rights based on biblical interpretations. • Influence: It is a significant voting bloc, often courted by conservative politicians.

theyre trying to convert the world! meaning they probably see the conversion of the world as the fulfillment of their holy end times. which means one could argue that whoever would lead the world-conversion might be the return of you-know-who themself. which would equal of course getting laid by lots of christian babes. so, in the minds of the most virulent of today’s evangelical trump-supporting men, a contest perhaps forms, or at least, an opportunity is seen. if they can just pummel the atheistic democrats… and so behind the scenes, the most rich and powerful evangelist trump-supporting republican men have led an illicit war on democrats… for greed at the end of the line.
