In fact, I imagine the proportion for Asian evangelical Christians would go close to 90%. I grew up with Bible teachers preaching that if you don't believe in pacifism and social democracy (socialism) then you aren't a true Christian at all. The most hardcore anti-Communist Chinese in HK during British rule were not Christians and most of the prominent Christians sound mushy when confronting the Chinese Communists.

Jesse Jackson is not considered evangelical because he has come in front delcaring he is pro-abortions and also he believes the Jesus isn't God.

I would ping to dsc and Esther Ruth for comments as they are in America and dsc is a Catholic and Esther Ruth is evangelical.

This form of Christian evangelicalism has perhaps drawn on the teaching of Leo Tolstoy. How does the evangelical movement in Latin America compare with that in Asia? I gather Catholicism has also spread widely in Latin America.

Actually, I'm an American living in Japan, though striving to get back to America.

In general, with what I think is one notable exception, the foreign priests I've met in Japan (US military excepted) have seemed like refugees from the sixties -- liberal across the board, on everything from pacifism and liberation theology to homosexuality.

The Japanese priests are something of an enigma to me. It's hard to pin them down, to get them to make a clear statement on anything. They do seem awfully lackadaisical about getting things right, though.
