Before you get all hot and bothered over the name "Evangelical", I would like to remind you that the encyclicals sent by Roman (pagan) emperors to their governors, to be read to the people, were ευαγγελια. The Christians co-opted the term from them, so as I see it, turnabout is fair play. Fundies are frequently Evangelicals (though not all Fundies are Evangelicals, all Evangelicals are Fundies).
