Cindy Morgan, from Caddyshack and Tron.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Gary Graham. An actor I mostly knew from his guest roles in Star Trek.
But it turns out that he was a big Christian who also wrote for Breitbart and was pro Trump.
