When did these weirdos co-opt the term “evangelical”?

The term “evangelical” has been being re-defined for years. Now even the term “fundamentalist” is in the same process, thanks to a group loosely known as the “young fundamentalists”, who are in the same process of questioning the “old time religion” as evangelicals went through decades ago, when evangelicals and fundamentalists split. It’s not to the point of questioning such fundamentals as inerrancy of the Bible and such, but wanting to pull bricks from the wall, no matter how small the brick, is always how these things begin.
