Exvangelical

Self-applied label for people who have left US-style evangelical Christianity, popularised by Blake Chastain's podcast (2016+) and the #exvangelical hashtag. Distinct from 'ex-Christian' — many exvangelicals retain Christian faith but reject the evangelical institutional and political package.
