There are 305,205,851 Evangelicals worldwide. 89,500,000 or more in the United States. Does Billy Graham ring a bell? Wikipedia:

The 2004 survey of religion and politics in the United States[11] identified the Evangelical percentage of the population at 26.3%; while Roman Catholics are 22% and Mainline Protestants make up 16%. In the 2007 Statistical Abstract of the United States, the figures for these same groups are 28.6% (Evangelical), 24.5% (Roman Catholics), and 13.9% (Mainline Protestant.) The latter figures are based on a 2001 study of the self-described religious identification of the adult population for 1990 and 2001 from the Graduate School and University Center at the City University of New York.

Rather than engage in the emotion charged debate of religion and politics, I would simply make the point that there a lot of Evangelicals in America and many in the Villages. Draw your own conclusions.
