Many Americans think the United States was founded as a 'Christian nation.' But in fact, it wasn't until the mid-20th century that the United States began printing "In God We Trust" on its currency, and pledging allegiance to "one nation under God." Historian Kevin Kruse traces this conception of America to the 1930s, when a coalition of businesspeople and religious leaders formed to oppose the New Deal.
