Gutenberg, he invented the printing press. Without that we could not have mass education of the media. After him, probably Issac Newton. Most of our scientific theories began with Newton, plus enlightenment thinkers used his ideas on Natural Laws that govern the world and space and said that there must be natural laws that govern man giving rise to much of the modern ideals in Europe and America. For instance Rousseau was an Enlightenment thinker who gave us the ideas of the modern nation state which is what is in existence today. So, while I think Newton began a revolution in ideals and is probably the most influential person in way of ideals, without Gutenberg's invention of the printing press, those ideals could not have been spread. So really both if you figure one gave us an instrument and the other ideals.

awesome question. Its very subjective. I would have to say Charles Darwin, without his studies the question of religion and science would never be debated.
