Evangelicalism

Evangelicalism is a christian group in America which follows Neo-Calvinism

It is quite vicious and virulent and poisoned by ur-fascism but at the same time it has some unique traits.

In analysis over whether it's a technoreligion it demonstrates significantly more technoreligous traits than one would expect.

Pseudo-religious ideology traits

 * High political involvement
 * embracing technology

Semi-Axial traits

 * some emphasis on spirituality at least higher than things like Communism

Arguments against it as a technoreligion

 * plays too defensive
 * Incompetent with recent generations

Possible futures
Due to the technoreligion characteristics of Evangelicalism it may have a potential to have leaders emerge in it which will become highly powerful and influential.

Advantages
Lots of wealth and political power

Surprisingly good media competence which has been the case for decades


 * this only applies to social media if you count Trump grifters.

Religious

Challenges

 * A leader needs to be both a highly political "grifter" and promote a spiritual system. These tend not to go in common well
 * Evangelicalism is too defensively oriented and unconcerned with legitimate proselytism to atheists. It sometimes does a performative proselytism, but it cannot seem to comprehend the worldview of atheists enough to perform genuine proselytism.
 * Evangelicalism is arguably mostly discredited across the world. Many people who are more than willing to listen to Evolutionism may not be willing to listen to Evangelicalism
 * The Evangelical population is too concerned with maintaining material influence over politics and maintaining privilege over evangelism. Maintaining privilege is not something that convinces people to your side.
 * The biggest irony is if they focused on gaining privilege they actually would have a case for potential converts.


 * They use queerphobia as a motivator for their members. This makes them miss out on a major demographic for religious conversion and costs them public sympathy
 * Their spiritual offerings are questionable. Many people treat them just as a political movement

Future ethnoreligion?
It is quite possible Evangelicalism will transform into an ethnoreligion much like Judaism. Assuming their political defeat, which seems inevitable they may be left without a state and as a relatively despised group with high ingroup solidarity. The highly competitive internal environment may make Evangelicalism formalize itself into an insular religion like Rabbinical Judaism much like what happened to the Pharisees.
