Wow, interesting question since all three were reformists fighting what they saw as misappropriation of religous doctrine. My vote would be for Martin Luther.

I would have to agree. Martin Luther used reason and logic as well as religous justification. His arguments could be agreed on a secular or religous base. I assume you are talking about reason in a philosophical sense?
What about some of the older minds?
Socrates
Plato
Mohammad
Buddha
Jesus
Yep, I am going to have to go against the stream with Plato.
Plato was always concerned with the fundamental philosophical problem of working out a theory of the art of living and knowing. Like Socrates, Plato began convinced of the ultimately harmonious structure of the universe, but he went further than his mentor in trying to construct a comprehensive philosophical scheme. His goal was to show the rational relationship between the soul, the state, and the cosmos. This is the general theme of the great dialogues of his middle years: the Republic, Phaedo, Symposium, Phaedrus, Timaeus, and Philebus. In the Republic he shows how the operation of justice within the individual can best be understood through the analogy of the operation of justice within the state, which Plato proceeds to set out in his conception of the ideal state. However, justice cannot be understood fully unless seen in relation to the Idea of the Good, which is the supreme principle of order and truth.
Oh, and did you mean Jean Calvin, or John Calvin?
I think that some of the things that Lindsey Lohan has been saying recently are very reasonable.
