Michael Servetus
Michael Servetus was a 16th-century Spanish physician and theologian known for his unorthodox views on the Trinity, which ultimately led to his persecution and execution for heresy. His ideas contributed significantly to the development of religious tolerance and the separation of church and state. Servetus' life and tragic death exemplify the dangers of dogmatic intolerance in both religious and political contexts, serving as a poignant historical reminder of the consequences of extreme ideological beliefs.
