A more intereting question would be who is the most famous WOMAN in human history.
Lady Gaga.
Virgin Mary.

I think philosophy is more likely to be Aristotle or even Plato.Religion: Jesus
Politics: Adolf Hitler
Science: Einstein
Sport: Pelé or Cristiano Ronaldo... I'm not sure which one, but definitely someone from football (soccer), it is by far the most played and followed sport globally for generations.
Music: Bach (or Beethoven/Mozart, tough call)
Literature: Shakespeare
Philosophy: Karl Marx
Theres lots of historical evidence to back up Jesus and Mohammed existing. Theres just no evidence that they were anything more than normal humans. Pretty sure Jesus was just a prominent and controversial political figure in his time.
Nowadays it should be something similar, Jesus - Obama (Trump doesnt have enough exposure time for foreigners) - Cristiano Ronaldo (more of a marketing guy than Messi). I would even argue that Ronaldinho could be near the top as well.

Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
It's not even close, guys. People all over the world have no idea who Beyonce and Ronaldo are. Everywhere from Africa to Europe to the Americas and most parts of Asia have heard of Jesus.
Not everyone shook brainwashingEinstein was a deist who used science to help explain the divine.
"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."
Furthermore, those figures you mention touch upon basic truths of the human condition, especially Jesus and Buddha.
Your adherence to science is anti-intellectual and the fact you think science and religion is either/or is juvenile.
Why would people from a non Judeo-Christian-Muslim background know about Jesus? Popstars and sports figures transcend religion.

Lmao so edgy. Muhammad wasn't even a supernatural figure and there is tons of historical evidence for him. Tell me how/why he is fake?Ok, if Jesus and Mohammed are allowed I'll throw in Darth Vader, or Father Christmas.
Michael Jackson might actually take it over Hitler.
Queen Victoria or Elizabeth of England would be my picks.Jeanne D'arc or Marie Curie?

Or the result of a tall tale that's got out of hand, laid down by a promiscuous Mary of Nazareth...

No that's RonaldinhoIs Cristiano Ronaldo even the most famous Ronaldo?
Simple actually, what year is it now?
It's not 4.something billion in our calendars, it's 2017. We are counting from a specific event in time.
You know that not all countries do it this way?
Western countries but the majority of the worlds population is in the East.I am aware that there is the Hijri and Islamic calendar and many other, and some countries use these, but most countries are on Gregorian time, arent they?
I mean you can distinguish even within that group. I know for a fact some university students at a pretty respectable American institution don't know who Lincoln is. I imagine it's much worse elsewhere. Yet I have a feeling every single student at that university knows who Jesus is. Especially since a number of those have much heavier national/cultural associations.

You do know the Christian calendar isn't used by everyone right?
You do know the Christian calendar isn't used by everyone right?
No but by ALMOST everyone. There are four countries that don't use it and a couple of countries that use another calendar on the side.
Yes, 5 do not use it at all. And for Islamic countries the point of knowing Jesus still stands with or without counting from AD.
The rest of us use Gregorian as "civil calendar" or at least alongside the "local" one.
Joseph was the OG cuck.
"She said god did it, so I should believe her."
David Beckham is a very good shout.
He's very well known in the US
He's very well known in the countries where football (soccer) is popular which is much of the world. Messi is not that well known outside people who have zero interest in football. I hate to generalise but to give a broad example, a lot women won't have any idea who Messi is but Beckham, absolutely.
Thirdly and very importantly, he's very well known in Asia.
Is Cristiano Ronaldo even the most famous Ronaldo?
So what do China and Japan use? I know Indonesia primarily uses the Gregorian calendar/years.
Edit: Never mind. The Gregorian calendar is the de facto international standard and only a few countries use a different one.
The gregorian calendar is used in a lot of countries nowadays, it sort of became the standard because of trade and whatnot. However that doesn't mean everyone that uses the calendar knows the reason why we are in 2017, as I have posted before in Japan and China they don't refer to 2017 AD but more of 2017 in the western calendar. I guess most of us here in GAF know about the existence of chinese or hebrew calendar, but have you ever bothered to know when they started counting and the reason why they chose their year 1?You do know the Christian calendar isn't used by everyone right?
When you look for historicity, you not only search for what is written, you also look for what isn't written.
You know what isn't written about Jesus? Texts that contradict those that are written, remotely near the time they were written.
Jesus is a historical figure, and we are much more sure of this than most other famous historical figures at the time.
There is also the things that were written. If you were inventing or creating a fictional character Son of God, you don't write stuff like his baptism, that he kicked some merchants out of some temple, or that he was crucified and died. He wouldn't have need a baptism, he would be a pacifist and went straight to heaven in a fire carriage or something.
The only problem historians face when determining the life of Jesus, is that there is too much written about him, whereas most historical characters have too little written about them.
