Religion and the presidency: inform pastor of the nation : nixion: 1969-1974. Strategic approach to politics, not religious or moralistic. In us and supported nixon publicly in oath of his campaigns. Graham was never in nixon"s inner circle, but he was welcomed in. Carter always drew close consciousness links between his religion and politics. Used religion to justify his environmental and foreign affairs policies. His greatest triumph was the camp david accords, which was informed by the help of his religious background. Last support of many evangelical who thought he was too democratic/liberal: ronald regan: was popular among evangelicals despite his past in hollywood and his divorce because he defended traditional values. However, little was gained by the religious right during his presidency: george hw bush: 1989-1993. Worked hard to secure support of evangelicals: bill clinton: 1993-2001. Very much an evangelical protestant but did not receive their support due to his liberalism on social issues.
