The TP and evangelical line was somewhat blurred after the 2010 election. The two factions kind of became co-dependent on each other, and thus lumped together. The evangelical voice had gotten marginalized in a lot of ways, but still had some pull within the party. The TP had no pull within the party, but had the momentum of winning several House seats.
Michelle Bachmann is often labeled a TP republican, but she's been around longer than the TP. She's always been a bit evangelical, but didn't gain noteriety until after the TP surge in 2010. I think she's the best example of how the line between the 2 factions became blurred following the 2010 election.

There is cross over for TP types that are evangelical. The question for me comes down to how important social issues are for the said groups. The TP seems to on average care more about fiscal stuff and the social conservative types are more concerned with gays and abortion.
They both are conservative populist movements, just with different if not sometimes overlapping goals.

Solid. One example should capture a national movement.
