http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=Martin%20Luther

German theologian and leader of the Reformation. His opposition to the wealth and corruption of the papacy and his belief that salvation would be granted on the basis of faith alone rather than by works caused his excommunication from the Catholic Church (1521). Luther confirmed the Augsburg Confession in 1530, effectively establishing the Lutheran Church.

Freedom Fighter.  Go Protestantism!  The Catholic Church was way too corrupt in the 16th Century.  Although it has cleaned up its act a lot, it still can be quite corrupt today (See pedophilia scandals).

A few hp tendencies of course, but in general one of history's greater freedom fighters.

I voted freedom fighter. The Catholic Church had gotten really bad, and was in desparate need of reform.

It certainly was.  He correctly believed that people could talk to God directly rather than through a priest.  Despite his flaws, he's one of the biggest freedom fighters in history.
