__NOTOC__
==Synopsis==

The word evangelicalism often refers to a broad collection of religious beliefs, practices, and traditions which are found among Protestant Christians. Evangelicalism is typified by an emphasis on evangelism, a personal experience of conversion, biblically-oriented faith, and a belief in the relevance of Christian faith to some cultural issues. Historically, the movement began in the early 18th century as a response to Enlightenment thinking. It stressed a more personal relationship with God at the individual level; as well as activism based upon one's biblically based beliefs. Current media usage of the term (especially in the United States), is often synonymous with conservative Protestant Christians. This is only partly accurate.
