I never understood how it became fashinoable in that culture to name children after Christ, yet it doesn't happen anywhere else really. I did once know a guy named Judas though. He was black.

Did the Judas you know start the "Word Association" thread?

Yeah, you wouldn't believe how many Mohammeds I know, first or last name....

Actually that is the most popular first name for males in the world. Smith is the most common surname.

Confucianism is a philosophy, it's not a religion. Buddhism is the most dominant religion in Japan, Korea, and most liekly China (although the government, as with all communist governments, are avowedly atheist).

Pele and Tiger Woods are pretty much known World wide but i would have to say Hitler or Einstein seeing as lots of people have no idea who Jesus is.

 

Intrestingly i saw a survey they did on young school kids(4-8) in Asia in a newspaper last year and more of them knew Tiger Woods than any other person they were asked about including Jesus,Hitler and Einstein

I would, actually, change my vote to pele. The most famous player of the worlds most popular sport.

You're overlooking how stupid and disinterested the average American is. That's a good chunk of people.

I seem to recall hearing that, at one point, Muhammed Ali was the most recognizable athlete in the world.

 

So while he may not be THE most famous person, I'd say he's definately up there.
