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
• view all events recorded in the Bible as historically accurate and treat it as the infallible Word of God
• 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, especially in Europe
• 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

Evangelical Christians tend to be patriotic and politically conservative.
