Witch_dea, a third of the world's population is Christian, which is 33%. I think it is you who needs to do the math.

Upon reflection in the present day I would have to agree with you on this. Mohamed or Christ? I would have to say Christ, simply because he had a 500 year head start on Mohamed, and is was the belief in Christ which ended the beliefs in the deities, Gods of ancient Rome, Egypt, Greece, the Celtic deities etc. I think the influence of Mohamed has been easier because the belief is in the same god, and Christ is considered the third prophet, (Abraham, Moses, Christ, Mohamed). So when considering the influence of Mohamed the influence of Christ is included.
So in summation I would say that Christ has had the greatest influence of any single person on the planet.
But in the same since Abraham and Moses had a good thousand years on Christ.

I can't disagree with your idea. Before I saw the details, I was thinking Jesus and Mohammed. Definitely, for single people influencing the entire world for hundreds of years, you are onto something.

Hernan Cortes and his fellow Conquistadors- the discovery and conquest of the Americas was the most momentous event in history since the collapse of the Roman empire, and its effects fundamentally altered the course of European and thus global history.

But that was such a long time ago that people don't know for sure.
I think Hitler made a mega impact on the world. He showed us how many problems are caused by racism, discrimination, religion and greed.

I think Gandhi, even though many children don't pay attention during history class so they don't absorbe the lessons he try to teach, you see the effect of his efforts everywhere!
