520 |a This article reports a content analysis of the 49 inaugural addresses of the presidents of the United States. In it, two basic issues are addressed--whether or not there is a civil religious dimension present in the inaugural addresses, and, if present, what are its characteristics. The findings were as follows: In all inaugural addresses the presence of a civil religious dimension was detected. Its content, as was suggested by Bellah (1970) and Cherry (1970), focuses around the themes of Exodus, Sacrifice, Destiny under God, and International Example. The prevalence of each was dependent upon the historical situation. A theoretical framework is built that suggests the presence and characteristics of civil religion perform three functions of culture building, culture affirmation, and, most importantly, legitimation.
