Traditional Roles and Evangelical Influence
Traditional values promote the idea of gender differences, where the masculine role is seen as that of provider and protector, especially significant during the Cold War with capitalism as the provider and protector against communism. Men are expected to defend faith, family, and nation with physical strength and military power. Evangelicals play a crucial role within the military and American culture, aligning with their plans to reassert influence on American culture, culminating in the formation of the National Association of Evangelicals in 1942.
