I grew up in the Evangelical Christian world. Its various tenets that were most vaulted were:
- Missions (spreading the Gospel to other nations)
- Marriage sanctity and nuclear family (one man / one woman, having children)
- Christian education (curriculum designed for Christian families to be apart from non-Christian public education)
- American patriotism (gun rights, strict Constitutional interpretation, nationalism, pledge of allegiance, etc.)
- Republican political activism
