Quote:Gallup asks people, every year, "Would you describe yourself as a "born again" or an Evangelical Christian?" And every year, they get somewhere around 40%. That is a slightly larger category than strictly Evangelicals, but illustrates the kind of self-identification I'm talking about. Maybe there's some wacky push-polling trick to that question, but it seems pretty clear to me.

Actually, the Wheaton article is saying what I've been saying. There is more than one definition of "Evangelical" making it hard to quantify. I feel it is dishonest to use the Gallup number which is the broadest sense, for talking about the slimmest fraction that are moral ultra-conservatives.
