I named 5, and I was being conservative. There's also Fitzgerald, Woolf, Faulkner and Waugh. 20th century, without question.

Does any single individual in history put to shame all religions he doesn't belong to like Saint Francis of Assisi? No other religion besides Christianity has produced a man like this. Islam hasn't done it. Hinduism hasn't done it. Buddhism hasn't done it. A man who so radically believed that his own religion was true that he transformed his own life in a way that transformed the world, in turn.

Well, it allowed him to perform miracles and receive the Stigmata, so you tell me.
