Megachurches, hip hop, and podcasts: American evangelical Christians are ‘not a monolith’

Megachurches, hip hop, and podcasts: American evangelical Christians are ‘not a monolith.’

As the 2020 presidential campaign in America heats up, evangelical Christians will be getting more and more attention in the US news media. They always do during election season as they have long been seen as reliable Republican voters. But people who identify as evangelical or born-again Christians are more than just a voting bloc. Evangelicals make up a huge swath of the US population and they are rapidly becoming more diverse than ever before.
