Besides Jesus the Christ of Nazareth and Buddha, the only other person/entity I can think there might be a search for is Socrates (who may have been a literary device of Plato).

@Stephan, Thanks for the link. The article was a well written reflection on modern evangelical atheists. These so-called atheists are hijacking science so that they can inject their own religion into it. "The Bible shows the way to go to heaven, not the way the heavens go."...Galileo Gali...
