or any of the "Xteen Kids and Counting" TV shows for examples.
It's basically fundamentalist Christianity with an extra emphasis on members converting non-members.
The father is the head of the household and is God's minister to his family. The wife is his "helpmeet". All the kids have a duty to obey their father.
Absolutely no sex before marriage. Also no kissing or physical contact. The boy asks for permission to court and then to marry the girl from her father. All dates are chaperoned. Girls have to wear dresses that completely cover their arms and legs. Some girls wear creepy chastity rings to symbolise their "marriage" to their father until he is ready to give them away.
Abortion is obviously an abomination. Most Evangelicals also think birth control is wrong because it thwarts God's will. "Quiverful" Evangelicals think that God wants them to raise an army of little Christian soldiers to fight for him ("arrows in God's quiver"
and that they have a duty to bear and raise as many children as God provides.
Many Evangelicals won't watch television and think any music except Christian music and any dancing is sinful.
Most Evangelicals believe in "spare the rod, spoil the child" and still use corporal punishment on their kids.
Some are also "born again Christians". They don't baptize babies but wait until the kid is old enough to choose and then the baptism is a form of rebirth.
Every Evangelical I have ever met votes Republican. They are brainwashed into it in church.
