1. I grew up evangelical Christian half a world away. In the late 60s, Billy Graham and his ilk looked at the hippie and anti-war movement with disgust and thought ‘we better get our people elsewhere’. It was modern day colonialism and conversion. What they were selling was access to ‘modernism’ and ‘progress’. They intersected heavily with Asian countries’ post-war anxieties and told them speaking English and becoming Christian was the route to money.
