This article summarizes Billy Graham's beliefs into six main points: that he was an early advocate for civil rights, that it was important to reach out to strangers, (which has become even more relevant since the shooting in Florida) the Billy Graham Rule, ( a pledge made by Graham to not "travel, eat, or meet alone with another woman) that it was possible to find hope in the darkest moments, that everyone could be saved, and that he regretted his involvement in politics.
Although personally I am not religious, i agree with many of Graham's points. Civil rights are a necessity of humans, reaching out and befriending strangers to prevent loneliness-induced violence, finding hope even in the most difficult times, and the separation of church and state are all very important things to believe.
