"Evangelical" and "fundamentalist" are effectively synonymous for a large segment of American Christianity, but by no means universally so. At least a few million Americans identify as evangelical, believe in the divinity of Jesus and his role in salvation, but do not subscribe to the blanket literalism of fundamentalism with it's inevitable disparagement of science and history. The realism of the whole concept of salvation by blood sacrifice is questionable to say the least, but it isn't belief content held in the face of overwhelming objective physical evidence to the contrary. I guess my point is that a substantial number of avowed evangelicals share a measure of ability, with the Joe Offers, to see the Bible in cultural context, and let some of it be a background to their thinking rather than rules carved in stone.
