Comments:
The religious leader/guru Mahatma Gandhi made a strong finale in this poll, as did our divine creator of Ladonia Mr Lars Vilks. Religion and philosophy seems to be highly appreciated among Ladonians.
Albert Einstein, with his theroies of the relations between mass and energy, speed and time, was the first of the modern scientists that made Universe completely impossible to understand. This, of course, makes him a very Ladonian spirit, too.
Overall, the representation of Science, Fine Art, Religion/Philospohy/Human Interest is quite balanced with 4, 4 and 4 votes respectively (some of the geniouses can be placed in more than one category, as you surely already have figured out).
Other conclusions from this votings I leave entirely up to you. But don't hesitate to share them with the rest of us.
