  • Based primarily on The 100, Michael H. Hart's fascinating book. Selected picks from honourable mention section included. No ratings, however. Favourites at beginning of each category except final one.
    Nothing positive to say Constantine the Great (self-proclaimed, obviously)
    Pope Urban II crusade originator: would Jesus be impressed?
    Thomas Aquinas what a bore despite helping Europe on slow intellectual journey
    Liar/immoral but well-respected even today Muhammed used scholars to write Koran post-escape from home
    St. Paul aka Saul of Tarsus * from persecutor of Jews to Christian hero and major thorn in side of James/original church, likely a Roman informer who accidentally started new religion that eventually overtook Rome
    John Calvin face it: Reformation only meant additional big-mouths and wealthy non-secular people Isaiah according to many, prophet/writer supposedly foreseeing Jesus centuries earlier + didn’t realize writing too much not always positive
    Umar ibn al-Khattab another supposed Muslim fanatic after power & women; probably even more of a negative influence than crucially-overrated founder
    Flawed but mostly honest Moses legendary Jewish figure who imagined Yahweh’s presence via some drug according to at least one scholar
    Martin Luther kudos for almost ruining Catholicism, despised for hating Jews despite his focal point in life Jesus being one
    St. Augustine interesting writer although Mr. Hippo must’ve supported anti-heretical measures, as if there’s one truth + yours is the winner
    Abraham moral except almost sacrificing Isaac; would’ve been pretty upset what so-called chosen people have been through ever since
    King David aside from that Bathsheba incident which resulted in another much-loved king, beyond reproach according to even Gentiles although really didn’t achieve that much otherwise without actual music for Psalms
    Genuine, moral, etc. Buddha aka Siddhārtha Gautama especially his last 45 years, having gone through a lot previous half-dozen
    Jesus Christ really the king-priest Jews needed instead of spiritual messiah/God incarnate invented by everyone’s favourite actor denoted above *
    Lao Tzu worldview that inverts what almost eight billion people have to deal with, his Tao te Ching proof that humankind could transcend selfishness & the like
    Confucius rolling over in proverbial grave after naughty communists took over; he was thankfully more than just petty fortune-cookie jokes
    Mohandas Gandhi likeable-excepting Brits with a crumbling empire- if only because non-violent disobedience actually worked
    Relatively obscure Mahavira
    Mani chief rival to evil orthodox church before suppression their only choice
    Mencius Zoroaster All important in their day, without mattering all that much anymore
    Note: last four are moreorless equal but ranked on tier list anyhow; video lists alphabetical order
