What about more than a billion people who hadn't even heard about him. That's literally 9 billion people who have. Is there someone with more fame than him? No, no, @gerdvonnminstein you are right. Because since he died and until today there have literally been billions of people who have heard of him. Maybe because there wasnt such a population boom it was probably millions. But still.

I disagree. When the Catholic Church tried to be influential, it was more like it was highly influenced by the monarchs and/or the political clime. And that was the time when Christianity exploded. Actually, Christianity exploded during the Roman times, when they persecuted the Chriatians. Because of this, even though there still were Christians in the Roman empire(some of the high rankikng officials, or high ranking officials wives!), many Chriatians fled to many parts of the world, to spread the world and to save themselves from the persecution. Mind, the people that stayed in Rome were not stupid as to not flee, for several reasons. 1. If the fled the Roman Empire would have 'eradicated them from the empire' , meaning a symbollic loss, because Rome at the time was the most influential city in the world, with lots of people to spread the word to. 2. In the Heart of Rome, where the arenas were was where was the ripest place to place the seed. Anyone, Christians and non-Christians alike will see why after Ive given my reasons. Because most people would have had symphaty towards the Christians, and would be amazed how many of them did not pray yo the Gods of Rome, but went on to die in the Arena. Their reasoning went sometghing like this; What kind of people would love their God so much, that they would give their life for him? Sone extraordinary God thats for sure! Because, I wouldnt give my live for Jupiter, I would save my life! Theres lits of otger stuff I have to say but Im going to school now so bye!

But didn't Church became powerful after Fall of western Rome? Well in terms of power, yes. In terms of followers, I kinda have a scarce knowledge of that time till the 1500s, because thats when England got reformates. But bear in mind that smaller groups like Anabaptists, Hugenots and Calvinists were around suring the Catholic tim wbefore England was reformated. All these smaller groups thought that what the Catholic Church did was wrong, and thwy were right. For example, nowhere in the Bible does it say that you have to pay for your sins, yet the Church mase you buy indulgences. Also, the Spanish Inquisition aas a horribly wrong thing that the Catholics did, and thats peobably when people started thinking more deeply about the Catholic Churchs wrongdoings.

Population of earth- 7.5 billion. Wow, I expected a larger spike in the last few years. Anyway, that's 6.5 billion people who have heard of Jesus, probably more than any other historical figure. Corona?
