It describes metamorphosis, which it underwent, originated as a highly specialized term, denoting groups of American evangelicals, who proclaimed the need to return to the fundamental foundations of Christian values and faith. By now the term is used for a wide range of socio-political trends. It proved the correctness of the use of the term to social and political movements and currents and incorrect - to science.
