[ Since I'm tired and can't actually be serious about anything, I'm going to have to the say the guy who invented birth control.
Seriously, sex wouldn't be fun for so many people if he hadn't have.

Aristotle...
Because Athens should not sin against philosophy twice.
And he taught Alexander the great
And he defined how we think in the west
And he just assumed the number of teeth in a pig's mouth
And he is just generally awesome! (Seriously, read the Nichomachean Ethics)
Failing Aristotle - Nietzsche. That guy anticipated and perhaps defined nearly ever major intellectual movement that followed him. Modernism, post-modernism, nihilism.

I agree that ANY organized Church has corrupted the teachings of whatever religion they claim to be part of. It's human nature to make things bend in such a way that they benefit themselves.
I'm Christian but you will NEVER see me enter a church willingly. I take what I believe from what I interpret not what some man in a white robe says.
OT: Well Jesus, or Albert Einstein. Bother were incredibly influential in their own way.
Einstein: Theoretical Physics got turned on it's head when he showed up and he worked for plenty of humanitarian causes.
Jesus: Even if you aren't a Christian, you can't deny he and his teachings altered the very course of history for good and bad.
Well Jesus is the easy answer.
So, for a more interesting answer, it's between Shigeru Miyamoto & Jackie Chan.

Thats a really really tough one. Considering Jesus the mangod didnt exist, id probably have to go with Alexander the third, otherwise known as Alexander the Great. I mean, you cant beat a guy who got "the Great" slapped onto the end of his name. Took over the ancient world, shaped history in ways no one else could. Leonardo's great an all, but without Alexander, the world may be ruled by Persia for all we know. He changed the entire game, and thus, is the greatest person who ever lived
Jesus Christ. Even if you don't believe in him, there are plenty of facts that prove he existed, and he's had a bigger positive impact on the world than any other man.
He was and is a compassionate and forgiving figure, and will be seen as such for many billions to come.
