Ike put "In God We Trust" on the money to the howls of the progressive left.
He also came out publicly in favor of school prayer.
And said that the liberal Warren court was a massive mistake that he made.
Modern Liz Cheney Republicans would be calling Ike a "fascist"
He was also a big enemy of Marxism (cultural and economic…domestic and international)
Ike was a hero and not the moderate squish you think he was…
[Spearheaded by Chief Justice Earl Warren and Associate Justice William Brennan, the Warren Court radically expanded the reaches of the judicial power and altered constitutional law in a way that reverberates to this day. The changes were legion, including a constitutional right to "privacy", the the elimination of official school prayer in public schools, racial desegregation, and much more. Warren was the leader of the liberal wing; Brennan would provide its intellectual underpinnings. After he was no longer president,

The president met frequently with religious delegations, sent hundreds of messages to religious gatherings and groups, and spoke to numerous religious assemblies. His speeches contained more religious rhetoric than almost any other president's, and he repeatedly called for a spiritual revival and a moral crusade to remedy the nation's ills. While he was president, the highly publicized national prayer breakfasts began, the words "under God" were added to the Pledge of Allegiance, and Congress made the phrase "In God We Trust" the national motto. Rather than creating controversy about possible breaches of church-state separation,
the Eisenhower administration's significant interest in religion seemed to increase the public's esteem and admiration for the man from Abilene. Inspired in part by his faith, Eisenhower promoted a "dynamic social conservatism" that prodded voluntary organizations to combat economic and social problems and used the power of the federal government to remedy ills when their resources were insufficient.
