There's No Such Thing As An Evangelical?

The often self-aggrandizing waterworks of Sojourners' Jim Wallis tend to grate on my every last nerve. However, a recently written article of his speaks quite well to the foolishness of the media's construction of this mysterious thing called "Evangelicalism:"

You might conclude that the media still just doesn't understand much about religion and the enormous changes taking place among evangelicals in particular...(w)ill the media celebrities ever really listen to the American people or just tell us how we are going to vote?

I remember a conversation during the past year wherein we came to the conclusion that there was no such thing as Evangelicalism except in the eyes of social scientists. The blatant misuse of the term by anti-religious (and sometimes even Catholic) pundits only serves to continue to falsely unify a group that becomes more decentralized by the minute.
