Quotes by Kevin M. Kruse (?)

“President Eisenhower, like many Americans, is a very fervent believer in a very vague religion.”
― Kevin M. Kruse, One Nation Under God: How Corporate America Invented Christian America

8 likes

“THE ORIGINAL PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, much like the Constitution itself, did not acknowledge the existence of God. Its author, Francis Bellamy, a Baptist minister from Rome, New York, was a decidedly religious man, but when he wrote the pledge in the 1890s he described himself as something that would seem an oxymoron in Eisenhower’s America: a “Christian socialist.”
― Kevin M. Kruse, One Nation Under God: How Corporate America Invented Christian America

“Through all these various revisions, the pledge remained godless. But as the Christian libertarian movement of “under-God consciousness” swept the nation in the early 1950s, a campaign to add that phrase to the pledge began in earnest. The idea originated with the Knights of Columbus, a leading Catholic fraternal organization.”
