Now, if you mean by those terms, founders of new religions or of new
philosphical movements, then, yeah, they all seem to fit, though that's not
saying much. Why not put the pre-Socratics in there too, and the guy who
founded Mormonism as well as Madame Blavatsky? (Of course, perhaps you do,
since you had "et al." on your original list.)
Cheers!

Don't forget our fave sci-fi writer, mr Hubbard.
I am of the opinion (right now, at half past four in the morning) that the
only way transhumanism (or more likely extropianism) will make it into the
mainstream is by turning itself into a religion, or something equally
dogmatic. I guess it could turn into a sport. So who's our Allmensch?
