'''Reinhold Niebuhr''' (1892&mdash;1971) was the leading [[Neo-Orthodox]] theologian in the United States. He began his career as a pastor in early industrial Detroit (1915-1928), famously taking stands against [[Henry Ford]] and the [[Ku Klux Klan]].  He then became an internationally recognized academic as a theologian at [[Union Theological Seminary]] in [[New York]], working there for over 30 years.  Early on he was a left-leaning social activist; he later dropped the Marxism and socialism.  He was a star within the [[Neo-orthodoxy|neo-orthodox]] movement. He is a favorite thinker of both [[Jimmy Carter]] and [[Barack Hussein Obama]].<ref> [http://pewforum.org/news/display.php?NewsID=14256 "Reinhold Niebuhr is Unseen Force in 2008 Elections"], September 27, 2007, Benedicta Cipolla,
