evangelicals
Gospel-spreading Protestant believers
Evangelicals are Christians who emphasize personal conversion, the authority of the Bible, and actively sharing their faith with others.
The term comes from a Greek word meaning "good news" or "gospel." In American usage, evangelicals often refers specifically to Protestant Christians associated with conservative social and political positions, though the movement is theologically diverse.
Evangelicals turned out in large numbers for the election.
The singular evangelical works as both noun and adjective.
