What are a couple good thesis statements for the Blind Side by Michael Lewis?

Who are the great philosophers who believe in God?
There is a rather dubious misconception that doesn’t fully take into account that Christians have a number of leading writers, intellectuals, and speakers. Simply because these folks don’t make the NYT doesn’t mean they aren’t articulate and incisive in their analysis of social issues.Here are eight that are positively heavy hitters—and two that are perhaps more debateable—but certainly find themselves on the God side:Anthony Flew (Oxford, Redding, Calagary,Mortimer J Adler (University of Chicago)Alister McGrath (Oxford)William Lane CraigCS Lewis (Oxford)EF Schumacher (Small is Beautiful)Francis Bacon (founder of science)John Locke (founder of liberal social contract that became the basis of the US Constitution and the Declaration of Independence)Copelston (wrote multi-volume set on philosophy thats a classic. Debated Russell)Einstein believed in a kind of Deist God, and was certainly anti-atheist. Einstein argued for an integration of thinking in this regard, not the over-simplified and anti-historical conflict thesis.Even Thomas Jefferson believed in God and the value of religion, he just thought the influence of a given denomination (say a particular brand of Calvinists on government was a bad thing, not Christianity).You can look at the Veritas Forum.Here is another list: List of converts to Christianity from nontheism - WikipediaUpdate:Here are nine more to add:Ravi Zacharias (spoken at all the great universities in the Western world, but actually pretty globally as well)Os GuinnessSean McDowellDavid Bentley HartEd FeserJohn Lennox (Philosopher & mathematician at Oxford)Martin Luther King Jr.Billy GrahamReinhold Niebuhr (public intellectual)Finally, here are four more, all Catholic that I accidentally left off:Alvin PlatingaAlisdair McIntyreMary Ann GlendonPeter KreeftHere is a list of all the authors from the Catholic publication First Things: AuthorsYou could also probably add folks like Tim Keller, Max Lucado, and perhaps Oswald Chambers to the list. And there are a number of Christian writers who fall into this category.This shouldn’t surprise us because Jesus, Paul, and David were among the key speakers and/or writers of the Bible itself—not to mention the Gospel writers.
