Evangelical Christians are those who accept the authority of the Bible and who spread the joy and faith of Christianity to others.

Some general characteristics of evangelical Christians include:

generally better knowledge of the Bible compared to non-evangelicals
emphasis on salvation by faith alone
baptism as a recognition rather than a requirement for salvation
communion as a symbolic sacrament instead of the literal flesh and blood of Christ
active participation in a local church
high levels of charity
high mobility
support of homeschooling
belief in the traditional family
support of some or all forms of free enterprise
support for democracy and the mission of bringing democracy to others^{[Citation Needed]}
emphasize humility, as in Isaac Newton's attitude towards science^[1]

Evangelical Christians tend to be patriotic and politically conservative.
