There's only been a couple of people that I've heard that are famous that have said they are Christians and that was the Judd's and Shawn Michaels from WWE and he openly said Jesus Christ was his Personal Savior. I would image there's more. Ain't that Marylin Mason an atheist, that would be my guess.
