ABSTRACT
By the mid-twentieth century, American religions appeared extraordinarily healthy, claiming more members than ever before. Under President Dwight Eisenhower, there were prayers at cabinet meetings, the words"under God" were added to the pledge of allegiance, and the motto"In God We Trust" was placed on all currency. The Ten Commandments was a very popular epic film, and a popular song was"Big Fellow in the Sky." Actress and pinup girl Jane Russell acknowledged that she loved God, and added"He's a livin' doll."
