[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are cultural Jews and "cafeteria Catholics" - are there equivalents among evangelicals? Or is it if you're an evangelical you're by definition religiously devout?[/quote] I'd say there is such a thing. I personally know a small handful of what I'd call "cafeteria evangelicals": they go to church and pray and regularly discuss and post about the importance of religion in their lives. However, they definitely don't adhere to the "no sex before marriage" bit and drink more than their fair share when they're out with their non-religious friends. At least one has a creepy dad (who is also a minister at an evangelical church), who regularly makes skeevy comments about his own daughters and his daughters' friends in front of everyone. Certain countries in Latin America also have huge numbers of cafeteria (or cultural, depending on your definition) evangelicals. [/quote]
