When you start reasoning for yourself rather than just accepting
all the myths that have been presented to you;
when you start to question some of the stories you have
heard for years, you are in danger of losing your evangelical fervor.

I don't think it's a question of undermining "the" Evangelical message; rather, it's a case of challenging the notion that one cannot be evangelical without subscribing to a rather calcified set of positions. The problem isn't departure from evangelism, but rather the tendency of certain subgroups to add extra requirements--basically, to demand support for all their views--as a prerequisite for their recognition.
Perhaps this site illustrates the point:

It's a listing that pretty much insists the label "Evangelical" is owned by fundamentalism. It isn't.
