I'm saying that some who identify as "Christian" are not following the teachings of the Bible. You've rounded them into your definition of "evangelical".
"Evangelical" is not a term Rick invented; Rick is using it in the well-understood sense as seen here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evangelical_Christian This is a distinct meaning from "Christians who evangelize", in the same way that "Anglican" is not the same as "angular". You can argue that the term is being used inappropriately, in the same way that "antisemitic" ought etymologically mean opposite to *all* Semitic peoples. Nevertheless, the term *is* used that way, and being grumpy at Rick isn't going to change it. Cf. European socialists complaining about USian anarchocapitalists stealing and deliberately misusing "libertarian".
