During the 1950s, the Eisenhower Administration used American religion in the global ideological war against Communism as a propaganda tool. Where genuine spirituality flourished, they contended, communist ideology would naturally be rejected. Thus, a host of efforts—both overt and covert—were undertaken to strengthen religious faith around the world. Recent studies of this government-sponsored religion have tended to focus on the most visible elected politicians and cabinet members who lauded American faith and encouraged inclusive religiosity. This article takes a different approach, focusing primarily on several lesser-known promoters of religious anti-communism who worked closely with the Eisenhower Administration to translate public rhetoric into practice. It demonstrates that all were theologically astute intellectuals whose concepts of religion were shaped, in part, by the German theologian Paul Tillich in different but significant ways. Their critical use of Tillich's theological formulations presents a more nuanced picture of America's religious cold warriors than is normally portrayed. On the one hand, they appealed to Tillich's understanding of the history of religion to include non-Judeo-Christian faiths within the sphere of true religion. On the other hand, they appealed to his conceptions of heteronomy, autonomy, and theonomy to assert that American democracy was divinely ordained. I contend that, by focusing on these under-examined individuals, we gain a clearer understanding of the essence of the inclusive religion promoted by the American Government as it developed during the early Cold War.
