The term "evangelical" is rarely used in its correct form, as it's been co-opted by a particular flavour of non-mainstream TeleVangelicalism.
However, you've used it correctly here, and Rev. Douglas's actions speak louder than the words streaming from the TBN crowd.
You've also pointed out that evangelical Christianity has been taken over, at least in the public perception, by a "hard right strain" that debase, defame, and demean (i.e., "bear false witness against") many things on a regular basis. The louder voices have had more of an influence on politics in the past decades (30 years or so) than the quieter ones, who are kept busy doing God's work while the lunatic fringe scream invective cloaked in piety.
