Today, evangelicals are found across many Protestant branches, as well as in various denominations not subsumed to a specific branch. > > In 2016, there were an estimated 619 million evangelicals in the world, meaning that one in four Christians would be classified as evangelical. The United States has the largest proportion of evangelicals in the world. American evangelicals are a quarter of that nation's population and its single largest religious group. As a trans-denominational coalition, evangelicals can be found in nearly every [[Protestantism|Protestant]] denomination and tradition, particularly within the Reformed ([[Calvinism|Calvinist]]), Baptist, Methodist (Wesleyan-Arminian), Moravian, Mennonite, Pentecostal and [[Charistmaticism|charismatic]] churches. > Because of Evangelicalism's close tie with American charismatic's is often used synonymously with [[Charistmaticism]] in opposition to [[Calvinism]]. Evangelicalism has been so successful that it's beliefs have spread into non-protestant denominations such as [[Catholicism]]. ##### ^dataviews > [!dataview]+ Related unlinked notes > > - [[Are Jesus' teachings antithetical to the modern Christian church]] > - [[Evangelicalism has commodified faith for profit]] > - [[Fear cannot be a deterrent for deconstructing your faith]] > - [[My Deconstruction journey]] > - [[Religious concepts are often too powerful for a child's mind]] > - [[The bible is god breathed]] > - [[Worldviews should not make life seem easy and simple]] > [!dataview]- Other unlinked mentions > > - [[discussionRed Summer of 1919]] > - [[notes - 1920's General Notes]] > - [[topics]] > - [[Reagan]] > - [[People have been conditioned to believe the bible has to be infallible]] > - [[The Christian worldview is incompatible with most other worldviews]] > - [[The actual path to being a good person isn't explored by Evangelicalism]] > - [[the politicization of the christian church]]
