    Catholicism and Lutheranism are both Christian religions. It doesn’t make them equivalent.

    Evangelical religions are more fundamentalist with belief in things like talking with tongues and absolutes of good and evil.

      US-Evangelical. Even evangelical dominations can vary a ton. It’s just a term for trying to expand/spread the faith. In the netherlands evangelical churches are often the most progressive.

        No, it’s also evangelicals in Germany. They’re called “Evangelikale” in german, while the general term that includes evangelicals as well as (the generally more progressive) lutherans/protestants is “evangelisch”.

      I just said that Protestantism includes both Lutheran and Evangelical. Speaking of Protestants when meaning Lutherans is not clear if other groups are also present:

      lutheranism

      That’s usually referred to as protestantism, not evangelicalism.
