“One of the surprises of the study is how much abuse is aimed at evangelicals.  Some people used language that we can’t even reprint in the report.  Evangelicals were called illiterate, greedy, psychos, racist, stupid, narrow-minded, bigots, idiots, fanatics, nut cases, screaming loons, delusional, simpletons, pompous, morons, cruel, nitwits, and freaks, and that’s just a partial list.  The insults and anger directed at this population group by a surprisingly large proportion of Americans was truly shocking.  Some people don’t have any idea what evangelicals actually are or what they believe – they just know they can’t stand evangelicals, whatever they might be.”
