Far-right activists in Britain are increasingly adopting the rhetoric of Christian nationalism. Yet while they look to American churches for an example, their evangelical style seems unlikely to map onto Brits’ quite different attitudes toward religion.

    It all started when Eisenhower let Billy Graham in the White House because, " what can a little prayer breakfast hurt?"

    Also, he changed the official national motto from “E Pluribus Unum” (out of many, one) to “In God We Trust”.

    The first postage stamps with the motto appeared in 1954. A law passed in July 1955 by a joint resolution of the 84th Congress (Pub. L. 84–140) and approved by President Dwight Eisenhower requires that “In God We Trust” appear on all American currency.
