The 50 Most Influential Christians in America

I saw this list the other day and I wonder if it is right? I wonder if some of these men should even make the list.

I found it interesting so I thought I would post the link. Check it out and see if these influential Christians are really making as big of a difference for Christ as this would make them out to be making.
