Bothwell writes: “Billy Graham was a preacher man equally intent on saving souls and soliciting financial support for his ministry. His success at the former is not subject to proof and his success at the latter is unrivaled.”
And “Graham's message was principally one of fear: fear of a wrathful god; fear of temptation; fear of communists and socialists; fear ofunions; fear of Catholics; fear of homosexuals; fear of racial integration and above all, fear of death.”
“Graham also left behind a United States government in which religion plays a far greater role than before he intruded into politics in the 1950s. The shift from secular governance to "In God We Trust" can be laid squarely at this minister's feet.”
Bothwell discusses how Graham was inspired by Hitler, how he supported segregation, and preached that authoritarianism and acceptance of government was God’s will, how he worked with the CIA
We also discuss the connection between Billy Graham and Evangelical Christians
