A List of 20th and 21st Century Celebrity Christians (Non-Clergy)

While I’ve been writing my first novel I’ve also been collecting and recording the names of 20th and 21st century celebrities who are Christians but not necessarily known as ministers or clergy. For example, I would list Angela Bassett, Alice Cooper, Kathy Ireland, and Barak Obama but not Billy Graham, N.T. Wright, James Dobson, and Joyce Meyer.

Quite a while back I posted my then current list and asked for any suggestions. I got a few and added the ones I could vet.

So I’ve decided to post the current list and see if there are any new suggestions.
