According to this article, which mentions a recent survey of senior pastors in America, the following stats emerge:

At least a third of senior pastors in the United States believe one can earn a place in Heaven by simply being a good person.

One-third or more of senior pastors surveyed also believe the Holy Spirit is not a person but rather “a symbol of God’s power."

At least a third of those surveyed also said they believe “socialism is preferable to capitalism and that allowing property ownership facilitates economic injustice,”

Just 37% of Christian pastors have a biblical worldview.

Another 39% of Evangelical pastors surveyed said there is no absolute moral truth and that “each individual must determine their own truth.” Roughly the same percentage (38%) didn't answer in the affirmative when asked if "human life is sacred," while 37% said having faith, in general, is more important than in what — or more specifically, Whom — one has faith.

Three in 10 Evangelical pastors (30%) didn't answer in the affirmative if their salvation is based on having confessed their sins and accepting Jesus Christ as their savior.

The data from this latest report came from a nationwide study of about 1,000 Christian pastors across several segments of churches and/or denominational families and was conducted between February and March of 2022.
 
Sounds like definition of evangelical has been broadened to be meaningless, and or has degraded so far as to be meaningless.
