Abstract
During the Cold War, the fight against Communism strongly interacted with the complex pattern of American religious organizations. This article explores how C.D. Jackson and Henry Luce, two Protestant members of the East Coast elite, supported the Pro Deo movement, initiated by a Belgian Catholic priest. Together with their religious beliefs, their connections in media, foreign policy and intelligence circles helped craft the lense through which they perceived Pro Deo, and tools to influence it. This in turn sheds light on their vision of religion and its role in the projection of American identity abroad.
