The only one I know that did is Billy Graham.

The Grahams, Billy and his son Franklin, represent a great example of what has happened to Christianity in this country. Billy Graham was, essentially, apolitical and did his work in the name of Christ. I never met a person who disliked him.

His career was devoted to offering the Word of Christ. I can't remember Billy Graham ever condemning anyone who didn't pay heed to his messages.

Franklin Graham, on the other hand, is a foaming-at-the-mouth politically right-wing agitator who embraces politics and is more than happy to condemn anyone who disagrees with his messages. He is as polarizing as any left- or right-wing fanatic.

I hate the mixing of religion and politics. The outcome is always hateful and demeaning towards someone or group. It's awful.
