Evangelical
Describes Christians who try to uphold the tenants of the Protestant Reformation, but without all that courage, conviction, and critical-thinking baggage that got their 16th and 17th century forefathers burned at the stake. Also known as "Evan-jelly-fish" due to apparent lack of brain and spine.
"Unless I am convinced by Scripture and by plain Reason, and not by Popes and Councils, who have so often contradicted themselves. My conscience is captive to the Word of God. To go against conscience is neither right nor safe. I cannot and I will not recant. Here I stand. I can do no other. God help me."
-Reformer Martin Luther in his trial at the Imperial Diet of Worms.
"You know what, the thing that breaks my heart is that there's no way I can answer it without hurting someone on either side."
-Famous Evangelical Pastor Brian McLaren, when asked about his position on homosexual marriage.

Evangelical
The Andromeda Strain of Christianity. Often called "conservative Christianity", when in reality it is a very modern radical version. Evangelicalism has no true theology, substituting apologetics for theology, and far more concerned with what will draw in people than in actual beliefs.
Evangelicals are often mistaken for Protestants, however the two groups a quite different. Protestantism is based on the idea that people can read and understand the Bible for themselves, without need of a mediator. In Evangelicalism, your minister is the final authority of what the Bible means.
Evangelicals gather to worship in thousands or tens of thousands in the belief that their minister is an intermediary to God, and that it is very important to get their religion directly from him.

Evangeline
Evangeline is a beautiful, elegant girl. She believes no one likes her because she's ugly or not smart, but in truth, she's loved by everyone in her class. Whoever hates her, is usually already hated. Evangeline prefers to be known as tom-boyish and wants to be tough, but inside, she's extremely girl-ish and playful in her own way. She can make friends with just about anyone if she acts like herself- funny, facial, and always there for you. She also is prety athetic and fast when she runs.
She also loves dogs and art- but she thinks her art is crappy even though it's pretty much average. She definitely does NOT take crap from ANYONE, and will either 'tattle-tale' with no shame or just tell her parents and rant to everyone else. Evangeline also is an amazing speaker, and is only shy around adults. She can make a good argument, however when it comes to her weight it is something she worries about. Although she's actually really skinny, Evangeline thinks she needs to lose weight constantly. Evangeline is also sometimes emotionally out of control and her mood changes often.
Meaning: "Bringer of good news.'

Guy: Dude, Evangeline is such a great girlfriend- but I accidentally slipped up and said something rude about her friends..
Other guy: What did she do?
Guy: She slapped me, explained to me how 'unacceptable' that was with some explicit language along the lines, then kissed me and stormed out?!
Other guy: Girls are SO complicated.
Guy: Not as much as this one...

evangelical atheist
An evangelical atheist is simply any atheist who actively tries to convert religious people to atheism.
It is important to note that, contrary to popular belief, atheists almost never make a definitive claim that "god does not exist". Only a very small percentage of atheists make such claims and they are referred to as "strong atheists".
"Belief that god does not exist" is not the correct definition of atheism, even though many dictionaries incorrectly list it as such. More accurately, atheism actually means something more like "the belief that there is insufficient evidence to assume the existence of god (over any alternatives), and thus one should not live as though one knows that god exists". Thus it is never fair to say that atheists have "just as much faith" as religious people do.
No human being has reliable evidence of Santa Claus existing, but that does not mean that one can definitively say that he does not exist, because it would essentially require searching the entire universe for him, which is impossible. There is no good evidence for Santa Claus, thus we shouldn't live our lives in such a way that we assume he is actually real. Atheists think about god in the same way.
Some atheists are evangelical is because they believe that the world would be better off if people didn't make assumptions that are not justified. Modern science came into existence only because a certain portion of human beings decided that conclusions about the world must be well justified.

If an atheist tries to actively convert you to atheism, then that atheist could be called an evangelical atheist.
