HowStuffWorks.com turned to hard data in the quest for the most famous person of all time. For that, the best resource probably lies in today's instant fame machine, the Internet.

Buddha's been around way longer than Jesus and nearly everyone in the east knows him and that would make it about 2 billion people. Plus nearly everyone in the world west knows who's Buddha.
It just show how misleading it can be a title when one is born into a religion and assumes that religion is the only one of a kind.
get out of your prison and see the real world which is made up of all colors and races.
Who knows, maybe they are both the same spirits incarnating at different time periods. :)
Many thanks!
