Billy Graham is easily one of the most well respected individuals on this list. As the “Pastor to Presidents” his following of the Good Book in his life has made him an ideal religious icon for politicians to align with. While he fought for rights in his early life, he did find some controversy in saying that women should follow the traditional wife, mother, homemaker path instead of competing with “male chauvinists”.

With a small home and a few collectible items to his name, he does not live the lavish lifestyle so many others on this list do. Instead, he lives modestly like the people that follow him. As an author of a significant number of books, his words seem to be sincerer than nearly anyone else on this list. At 98 years old, he has not made many public appearances in the last decade, but when he does they are generally well received. Truly a man of faith that honors what he taught.
