Is Evangelical more a political or religious term?

[OddBeMe]

More of…means one or the other. Cat have it both ways.

Political

Religious

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Answer is both, religion and politics are more often than not running the same boat, evangelism is political in the sense that it is proselytism, an attempt to convert folks to increase flock's size for a designated political and religious power. It is religious because some religious, priests or not, genuinely think they have to convert people to populate heavens for the greater good.

Evangelical is a Catholic term first used to describe the early christian missionaries as they spread the gospel throughout the Roman Empire

[ProbablyClueless]

I tend to think of evangelism in a religious context, which is sort of in line with how the word has been used historically. These days, people treat their politics like a religion, so I guess that's why the lines have blurred.

[DrPepper12]

It's a term for misogynistic authoritarian xenophobic bigoted ethnocentric Chisto-fascists.

[MisterWack]

Evangelicals are religious.

[OddBeMe]

They may think that…seems they’re so quick to abandon their morals for politics.

[MisterWack]

@OddBeMe Yeah…. True
