The piece argues Christian imagery shaped American perceptions of World War I, framing the conflict as sacred and casting Germany as morally perverse. It notes Stars and Stripes cartoons, soldiers' letters, and cemetery design using crosses shaped memory, unity, and virtue, while masking religious diversity and moral complexity.
