I found a quote by Richard Nixon on page 1 very interesting, "Among the great privileges that we enjoy is the privilege of hearing President Eisenhower pray at the beginning of his inauguration," he declared. "That could not happen in half the world today." While Richard Nixon would come to have issues with his morality in the future this article does demonstrate a change in American culture. Church attendance climbed during the Eisenhower administration demonstrating the power of the presidency to impact American culture. Ike never mentioned a specific church nor a specific religion, he encouraged people to attend church and pray. There may be a lesson for our modern world and its leaders.
