Your favorite "thinker" from a religion/non-religion different than yours

Hey he loved animals! We have a dog walk for charity, and a priest says a prayer invoking St. Francis. One of the few times I don't mind public prayers. Plus the cool blessing of the animals in NYC is based on st francis iirc?
