I was going to post: "What makes it evangelical polyamory as opposed to just plain old polyamory?"

It seems to me the "evangelical" part was just added to make it seem worse without actually giving any valid reasons.

I think there's a strong effect wherein "open non-ashamed polyamory wherein you mention any positive reason why you like it" = "evangelical polyamory", or even just "open polyamory" = "evangelical polyamory", for the same reasons as "evangelical atheism" and "evangelical homosexuality".
