The Cold War and America’s Religious Revival | Billy Graham

Discover how the Cold War ushered in a new era of Christian religious nationalism in the public sphere led by President Dwight D. Eisenhower and evangelical pastor Billy Graham in these videos adapted from Billy Graham | AMERICAN EXPERIENCE. Asserting that the Cold War was a conflict between communism and Christianity, Eisenhower elevated Graham to White House spiritual advisor, claimed faith was the unifying feature of the American experience, and made “In God We Trust” the official U.S. motto.
