The evilest person who committed the most horrendous deeds, propagated the worst ideas, or was responsible for other moustache-twirling affairs.

Anyone who is currently alive does not count.

    Idk if Powell is alive. Ayn Rand, but she is just a fool with a strange philosophy, she can’t be responsible for what the morons did with it.

    Idk if whoever founded Mossad is still alive, but they sure sabotaged and sent backwards the entire world.

    Whoever took advantage of Jesus delusions, and convinced him he is the messiah, leading to a religion that would be used to stop people from taking on science.

      I don’t think it’s fair to make Jesus responsible for the modern pick-and-chose followers of his religion, and I doubt modern Christianity would even be recognizable to him - the late Roman state religion is pretty different from his reformed Judaism. Plus IIRC early Christendom had some doomsday cult elements.

      Couldn’t the same be said of Marx?

      Look at the great leap forward, that killed millions of people due to idiotic central planning.

      It’s not Jesus that caused people to not listen to science. Humans are just naturally superstitious. Religion has existed in every human civilisation since the beginning of history. Even if Christianity never arose, humans would just be following some other religions.

        There will always be a story we tell about anything, whether its accurate or not. In my opinion, both science and religion are a form of storytelling.
