Michael Graziano - Religion as a tool of the CIA
Manage episode 338609062 series 3315994

Is nothing sacred? When it comes to American exceptionalism, at least religious practice sure isn't.
As Dr. Michael Graziano discusses in this episode, right from the beginnings of the CIA, part of the strategy to advance American interests around the world was the co-opting of religion. The conversation touches on the overthrow of Mossadegh in Iran and the resulting Islamic Revolution of 1979, denigration of Buddhism leading into the Vietnam War and the religious backlash to 9/11.
Check out the book here! Errand into the Wilderness of Mirrors: Religion and the History of the CIA.
