Opening explanation

There are existing sub-sections on religious denominations to deal with Christian lay people in politics. For example the subsections: List of Lutheran statesmen, List of Catholic Leaders and Politicians, List of born again Christian politicians, List of LDS politicians, etc.

This list is for politicians who also do Christian pastoral work. Both ordained clergy and various evangelists or theologians. It is therefore not appropriate to add Christian lay people to the list. Although some noted theologians in the laity are included as relational.
