What's Up with Evangelicals?

The article "9 in 10 Evangelicals Don’t Think Sermons Are Too Long" provides research that supports the claim that "evangelical churchgoers are pretty happy with how things are going at their churches." The article, "12 Lies American Evangelicals Believe" paints a different picture, not of dissatisfaction but of widely-held error. One is prompted to wonder what pastors are teaching in the so-called "in-depth teaching," of which evangelicals are reported to want more in the first article. It has been recognized for a number of years that lives of many evangelicals do not differ from the lives of non-church going Americans except for their churchgoing habits, fondness for contemporary Christian and praise and worship music, and their proclivity to socialize only with other evangelicals. The second article suggests that they are not removed from non-churchgoing Americans in their beliefs.
