“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

“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

“In the end, the Declaration was not a rejection of government power in general but rather a condemnation of the British crown for depriving the colonists of the government they needed. In order to reframe the Declaration as something rather different, the Committee to Proclaim Liberty had to edit out much of the document they claimed to champion.”
Kevin M. Kruse, One Nation Under God: How Corporate America Invented Christian America
