Review: One Nation Under God: How Corporate America Invented Christian America

One Nation Under God: How Corporate America Invented Christian America One Nation Under God: How Corporate America Invented Christian America by Kevin M. Kruse
My rating: 0 of 5 stars

Covering the start with Eisenhower overt Presidential Christian religiosity and continuing to the dog-whistle bywords and attestation on through Reagan and beyond, this is the history of "In God We Trust" and how the pulpit became a stop on the hustings. In the history, it is interesting how in Ike's era there seemed a exploitation of a recurrent Great Awakenings to align political inertia that became a pendulum swung too far in later fights over prayer in schools and more.
