Matthew Loftus, Susannah Black, Matthew Lee Anderson, Jon Askonas, and Christian Young assisted with the drafting of the questions. Also, thanks to Alan Noble for mentioning this idea on Twitter!

Are you an evangelical?

In the Trump era there is no lack of uncertainty about the true definition of an evangelical Christian. 81% of evangelical Christians supported Trump last fall and... one of Trump's most prominent conservative critics is evangelical leader Russell Moore. It's no surprise that a) no one knows what an evangelical is, and b) everyone wants to define it.

To fix this problem, the writers of Mere Orthodoxy have created a quiz to help people determine if they are, in fact, evangelical.
