i voted for jefferson and he's definitely up there as political thinkers go...also i'd have to go with Copernicus and Galileo for the sciences and Descartes for the rebirth of philosophy
Gutenberg anybody? Without the invention of the printing press, are any of Luther's, Jefferson's, Newton's, Shakespeare's works available to the masses? Maybe, maybe not. Maybe someone else invents the printing press a few years later. We will never know. But can't we say that about anyone?
This is too difficult a question to answer. There is no wrong answer to this question. So nobody discredit other people's opinions.

Where the fuck are Newton, Galileo, and Copernicus on that list? Or Josquin Des Prez, J.S. Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven? Hell, where's Leonin and Perotin? Gutenberg, Marconi, Tesla, and Edison also seem to be missing. Descartes, Darwin, and Adam Smith, anybody? There's too many names that could be included in the list.
My vote for most important person of the last millennium, though, has to go to the rightful owner of the title: Chuck Norris.

Old Testament was likely written between 1,000 BC and 100 BC
New Testament was likely written between 60 AD and 200 AD.
Biblical authors don’t fit the criteria for important people of the last millennium.

Luther: He single-handedly taught all of Europe to think for themselves. Without him, most of the Renaissance wouldn't have occurred the way it did, and we may never have seen the Enlightenment. Not to mention the fact that the religious wars that directly resulted from the reformation killed at least several hundred thousand people and laid waste to Europe for an entire generation.
