His father was a Calvinist?

[Wallace T.]

It just goes to show that there are no second generation Christians. FWIW, he converted from Reformed to Orthodox Christianity (Eastern Orthodox) in 1991, but he appears to have left that communion as well, in fact if not in form.

Not all evangelical leaders have had the fortune of Billy Graham in having believing progeny. Andrew Himes, the grandson of John Rice, a fundamentalist Baptist leader, became a Communist organizer in Alabama (admittedly a tough job!). The Satanist Aleister Crowley was the son of a devout Plymouth Brethren family. Stalin studied for the Orthodox priesthood. Marx was the son of a family that converted to Lutheranism; he was a devout Christian in his early teen years.
