Why people recommend it
One Nation Under God by Kevin Kruse is a historical examination of how corporate interests and political figures helped shape modern American religious identity. The book was discussed extensively on Behind the Bastards by Robert Evans and Michael Phillips. Phillips referred to Kruse's work while explaining how corporate America and political campaigns promoted Christian nationalism, highlighting the massive cultural impact of the film The Ten Commandments and its massive cast. Robert Evans also cited Kruse's book across multiple episodes to illustrate corporate influence on American Christianity. Evans used the text to quote passages concerning Spiritual Mobilization and to introduce historical advertisements, such as one funded by the San Diego Gas and Electric Company, that reframed foundational American documents like the Declaration of Independence in Christian-libertarian terms. The hosts relied on Kruse's research to demonstrate how wealthy elites and corporations actively engineered a specific brand of American religious conservatism during the mid-twentieth century.
