Here again we see McCarthy define the Soviet's as people with no system of morality, atheism. This also helped the United States position itself as the Christian country with Christian ideals. In his effort to define the Soviet Union McCarthy managed to define the United States as well.

This is a good example of defining the cold war by what you are not. The U.S. defined the Soviet's as a people who do not value anything, an amoral society. This helped define the United States define itself as a society with deeper convictions then just the state.
