Edit: Thanks so much for the answers already. Can you focus a bit more on the difference US/Europe? I now really feel it’s twisted - Evangelicals are mor radical than Catholics in the US and Catholics being more radical in Europe
All I hear from evangelicals in the US is that they are super radical. Here in central Europe, we are divided between Catholics and Protestants (evangelic). The catholics are usually seen as much more conservative than protestants, regarding marriage of pastors, LGBTQ etc. The protestants here (I was baptized as one but left the church later) are pretty chill with all that.
So my question is: How do European Protestants and US evangelicals differ? Are the evangelicals really more radical than US catholics, or are they just the majority? Do temperate Christians exist in the US?
The Evangelicals in the US are a rather crazy, radical bunch in comparison to Roman Catholics here in Europe. And while Catholics here are more conservative than Protestants here, they are rather civilized. In many European countries the members of the Catholic are more liberal than the leadership in Rome, and there is a lot of stress between the common people and the leadership, mainly to open up as much as the Protestants already have.
