Some of the worst people in the country. I was raised evangelical, even the folks I know who were decent on an interpersonal level would never consider voting for anyone other than Republicans.

In theory, it’s a subset of Protestantism that’s more concerned with evangelism (sharing the gospel and converting others), as well as a couple of other doctrinal distinctions, than the “Mainline.” Evangelicals and Mainline together make up Protestants; Protestants, Orthodox, and Catholics together make up Christians.
In practice, at least in the US, “evangelical” seems to have come to mean “activist;” as in, politically right-wing.
