Imperative = von Neumann, Functional = non-von Neumann-Languages?

Could you say as a general rule that functional languages are non-von Neumann-languages? For example, is Lisp a von Neumann language? If it is, is Haskell (which is purely functional, as opposed to Lisp) too?

I guess, I'm just asking for more well-known examples of non-von Neumann-Langs.
