When a person puts themselves on one side of a line and the rest of society on another... do they end up just limiting themselves and making a foolish sacrifice?
"Well, I wouldn't want that job working with all those sinners anyway... being successful financially must be a Jewish thing..."
or
"She left me because she just wasn't strong enough to turn away from Satan... it had nothing to do with my bad attitude toward others."
or
"My neighbors will be good to have when they finally agree to go to church with me... until then, I need to pray them into a corner."

Well, to me the term "evangelical" is a bit too broad for what you are describing. Is not an evangelical simply a Christian who is not a Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox or Mainline Protestant? Once again, to me a better term would be "fundamentalist" or if you will "fundamentalist evangelical Christian".
But to your main point, such Christians who do as you describe are not exhibiting Christian behavior. All Christians are called to make disciples of the world...but at the same time we are not to judge anyone in terms of their immortal soul. We are all sinners for having fallen short of the glory of God...but it is only God who knows our eventual fate.

I am glad I can admit that I am wrong when I am wrong and I am not perfect and I am sure glad of that! Whatever to all those others!
