Public intellectuals

In this months Prospect there is a list of the most influential 'Public intellectuals' in the world today. It struck me that there is no theologian (bar the Pope) in the list which either means they forgot them or more likely they are not of very much interest or influence globally. One might possibly have included Rowan Williams, N T Wright or Alister McGrath on the list or are they intellectual but not 'public' enough to be included? Maybe it's just no one voted for them. You still have the chance if you so desire.

Anyway,check out who the clever people are who influence the world HERE

Dawkins, Dennett, and Hitchens? This list is supposed to be legit?

How can they 'influence' me if I've never even heard of them. . .?
