Without God, There Would Be No America

Dwight Eisenhower was elected the 34th President by the largest number of votes in history to that date. On February 7, 1954, President Eisenhower supported the American Legion “Back-to-God” Program, broadcasting from the White House: “As a former soldier, I am delighted that our veterans are sponsoring a movement to increase our awareness of God in our daily lives. In battle, they learned a great truth-that there are no atheists in the foxholes. They know that in time of test and trial, we instinctively turn to God for new courage … Whatever our individual church, whatever our personal creed, our common faith in God is a common bond among us.” In the next year’s “Back-to-God” Program, February 20, 1955, President Eisenhower stated: “Without God, there could be no American form of Government, nor an American way of life. Recognition of the Supreme Being is the first — the most basic — expression of Americanism.”
