The 20th Century (specifically after World War II) would see the formal split between the groups now called Evangelical and Fundamentalist. Although the groups still maintain common positions on nearly every core belief within Christianity, organizational differences (primarily involving denominational membership and working with churches that did not hold to similar views) are the area of primary disagreement (though fundamentalists are quick to label Evangelicals as "liberals").
The 1960's would see the rise of the [[Charismatic movement]], which would also impact Evangelicals as some churches would leave (or be removed from) their denominations over adoption of charismatic practices (Evangelicals, however, consider Pentecostals and charismatics as fellow Christians and will work with them on issues such as the pro-life cause).
By the end of the 20th century, there were nearly 100 million Americans who identified themselves as "Evangelical Christians," according to a [[Gallup Poll]] in 1995.
