My vote goes to any decent human being of today that doesn't live by the moral code of some 1400-2000 year old men.

If you read the Quran or the Bible, you will learn that the "moral code" hasn't changed at all since then. In fact, most people are much worse now compared to those who followed the religions at that time. The only main issue I see is with the rights of homosexuals, which I agree that both religions frown against.

"most people are much worse now compared to those who followed the religions at that time"

Wow. 

@Andrespetmonkey I dont see the problem with people following the teachings of Jesus as a moral code?

I get the feeling people mix up the teachings of jesus (as in what was reported to be taught by jesus according to the bible) with that of the bible itself in full.

Like the issue of homosexuals...Jesus isnt reported to have said anything at all about it. Whether or not you can actually seperate Jesus from the rest of the bible is an interesting topic, after all he was a jew...its not like he purposefully started Christianity.

@Cirio I think in general people live much better lives now than they did in those times, irrespective of religion. Not that i can actually back this statement up, but im sure if i did some researching it would be pretty easy to back it up ;)

We can't be sure of that. He did come in with some pretty radical ideas for the time and was a leader of sorts. He may well have wanted to change the religious views to the point of forming a whole new religion/sect.
