While the author of the piece meant it to be a compliment, it appears King’s beliefs were a LOT closer to being Unitarian, than any sort of Christian in a meaningful sense.

That doesn’t take away the great things he did...as did Gandhi. Still, makes a bit of a mockery of all those (black, and “progressive-evangelicals”) who keep calling him a great Christian statesman.....

If one cannot say the Apostles or Nicene Creeds honestly...I really believe it is false advertising to claim to be a Christian at all.

Interesting -- what about Unitarians?

By no means. I posted this article to expose King's theological liberalism, not to defend jim crow.

Ironically, many conservative also project their own conservative religious beliefs onto people like Thomas Jefferson--another theological radical who did some good things.
