John Galt is a charismatic character in the novel Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand. He gave a moving speech against collectivism at the start of this hugely long novel, and then vanishes. Everyone runs about asking "Who is John Galt? Where is John Galt" for quite a while, and he reappears and becomes a hero.

Jesus and John Galt are charismatic savior types.

They are both central characters in long, difficult to understand books.

They both make speeches, then vanish and promise to return.

John Galt makes a more impressive return and then does not vanish again.

Nobody prays to John Galt. He does not claim to be the Son of God.

There are a few similarities and many differences.

Ayn Rand, who invented John Galt, was an atheist who thought smoking was really cool. She wore gold brooches in the form of a dollar sign and died of lung cancer.

There was a film made about her called "The Passion of Ayn Rand" It is LOTS less gory than the film about Jesus, named "The Passion of the Christ"

John Galt is not Jesus and cannot be compared to God Almighty.
