Jesus has the most entries, then Jefferson, Shakespeare, Augustine and C. S. Lewis.

Disraeli’s Endymion (1880) has the shortest line on the page: his Christianity was muscular.
Gandhi’s “I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians” is disputed, and the notes bring in the missionary E. Stanley Jones, who is said to have asked him a similar question. A line about the last stone of the last church, credited to Émile Zola, is traced to a Soviet popular-science book of 1959. The third disputed entry is an anti-Christian remark credited to Hitler.
