U2 (Bono)

Bono, U2's lead singer, has spent the last several years urging Christians to support the human rights causes. While the Irishman has been eager not to call himself a Christian (he says he’d “like to be” one), he nevertheless became for many Christians a symbol of integrating art, faith, and global engagement.
