"The World According to Oprah" thread got me thinking about this and made it real easy to throw up some names to get this started. Please feel free to add your own. I'm afraid there is probably not enough space on the entire internet or time left in this universe to complete the list.
(The list should contain only those who have at least some influence over the general public....no need to post about your brother-in-law.)

Astropin, don't forget Dr. Phil...also we might break the internets if we try to list them all. |
"...things I have neither seen nor experienced nor heard tell of from anybody else; things, what is more, that do not in fact exist and could not ever exist at all. So my readers must not believe a word I say." -Lucian on his book True History
"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini |

This is by no means a complete list. In fact, it's fairly paltry. But Dickipedia is a good start with plenty of room for more names to be added by enterprising editors.
For instance, they already have Ben Stein, Dr. Phil, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Ann Coulter, among others. They definitely need more religious dicks.

Whoa, whoa! Let's not get dicks mixed up with idiots! Some people are both, of course, but there are smart people who know that what they are telling people is a pack of lies, but do so anyway because it gives them wealth, power, or some other sort of personal advantage.
The average Creationist pew-occupant is merely an idiot. Guys like Hovind and Comfort are both idiots and dicks. Ham is merely a dick.

Lets be clear now...there are idiots and there are dicks and there are complete ass holes.
People who believe and peddle WOO are IDIOTS....Oprah, Dr. Phil, McCarthy....et. al.
People who knowingly deceive for profit.... John Edwards, Sylvia Brown...et. al. are complete ass holes.
Then of course there are the "complete idiot ass hole dicks"....Hovind, Dembski...ect... |
