George W Bush

Bought up an Episcopalian, Bush found himself overly devoted to alcohol before in 1985 a meeting with Billy Graham led to what he described as ‘a gradual warming of the heart’. He joined his wife’s United Methodist Church denomination, gave up alcohol and began reading the Scriptures and praying.
As President, Bush's religious certainty and his admission that his faith informed his decisions created a great deal of resentment amongst the more secular thinking politicians and media folk.
