AB We now know that evangelical Christians are not an homogeneous group, but differ on religious and political grounds. This paper explores one of the main fault lines in the evangelical community: the difference between fundamentalists and other evangelicals. Using the framework of politicized group identification, I argue that a fundamentalist self-identification has no political meaning for those who are not exposed to messages from religious-political elites seeking to develop a politicized group consciousness. Among those exposed to these messages, however, fundamentalists are more conservative and more Republican than other evangelicals.
