Grog of the Cave Bear Clan was dubbed "most influential person of all time" by the elders of the tribe in 65,365 BC for his creation of the concept of gods, goddesses, heaven, hell, angels, devils and things that go bump in the night.
As a result of his involvement, now 80% of the earth's population now believe in an afterlife or higher being....

Jesus Christ............The cross is the most recognized symbol in the world....
God could have offered us the gift of salvation without "a slaying," but being the way we are, would we have gotten the message?
As people, one of our weak points is this: it usually takes something big and dramatic for us to finally "get it" -- whatever "it" is.
As a group, we humans have a tendency to take things for granted. But it's hard, if we really think about it, to take for granted something like a crucifixion.
Especially when the crucified man was innocent, yet willingly endured this death for our eternal sake.
It was a powerful statement, and for us humans, it often takes a powerful statement for us to "get the message."

Jesus Christ
"I am far within the mark when I say that all the armies that ever marched, all the navies that were ever built; all the parliaments that ever sat and all the kings that ever reigned, put together, have not affected the life of man upon this earth as powerfully as has that one solitary life."

Flavius Valerius Aurelius Constantinus born 27 February c. 280, died 22 May 337 AD, commonly known as Constantine I, (among Roman Catholics) and Constantine the Great, or Saint Constantine. He was the major moving factor responsible for the spread of Christianity, which is the largest of the worlds religions. (You're going to have a wave of people who will say: "Jesus". But in keeping with their beliefs, he would not qualify as a "person" since he was supposed to have been half GOD.
*Your question specified "person".*

Moses.
Religion influences all people and Judaism took place because of Moses and Christianity and Islam followed.
I think Moses is more important than Abraham because the Exodus is the main reason why Judaism spread. From Judaism we have Christ and from Christ we have Christianity. Christianity in turn gave us Constantine.

Jesus is the most influential person of all time. Why? He was a way for mankind to obtain salvation into Heaven. Jesus IS the Christian faith.

Well, most influential person of ALL time must be the first man, as he influenced everyone other person ever alive. Besides that, i would say Muhammad or Isaac Newton.

Good question...I wouldn't be able to name 1 specific person but it would be somebody who has changed a mass amount of people to be better.
