In Olaf Stapledon's Last And First Men:
The Daughter of Man;
The Divine Child.

Nehemiah Scudder, the First Prophet.
In Heinlein's Stranger In A Stranger Land:
Foster, founder of the Church of the New Revelation;
Michael, founder of a Martian-influenced "Thou art God" movement.
In Poul Anderson's "Star of the Sea":

Veleda is historical. Her Wikipedia article references "Star of the Sea" and other fictional accounts. Anderson makes her a real person.

Kaor, Paul!
Anderson's "A Chapter of Revelation" mentions and quotes a Pope Benedict. Also, he wrote favorably about Pope John Paul II in one of his letters to me.
