Why evangelicals don't matter anymore

I think part of the problem is that American evangelicalism has some very vocal leaders who are materialistic, superficial, judgemental, power hungry and/or lack personal integrity. Also they have political leaders (the big T anyone?) who have lifestyles and opinions miles away from Christ's example, yet publicly and proudly identify as Christian. The weakness of American evangelicalism is that they embrace or tolerate these leaders instead of kicking them on the curb.

It struck me reading this, that this is exactly what mainstream Muslims are being criticized for - not denouncing radical Islam enough. People don't speak out against leaders like this for many reasons and some of them are valid.
