MLK was simply another left wing non-Theistic moralist like we've been cursed with so greatly since the "enlightenment." He didn't believe any of the tenets of orthodox chrstianity and has been used to destroy Biblical fundamentalism among whites while leaving the Biblical fundamentalism of rank and file blacks untouched.

There used to be an article online (from Tiqqun magazine) entitled "The Unknown Faith of Martin Luther King" which I used to post or bump here every year. Unfortunately, it seems to have disappeared. It explains in great detail that King was dedicated to a purely secular morality (a contradiction in terms) who rejected practically every supernatural dogma of "his" religion.

Secular morality and secular humanism are not based on scientific materialism. Scientific materialism does not lead to a moral or ethical code of any kind. They are in effect new age beliefs based on a belief in a purely natural utopia (the most unscientific concept imaginable) and a Teilhardian notion of teleological evolution and endless "progress," neither of which is the slightest bit scientific. The sooner our side notices this the better.

It's time to restore G-d to His rightful place as source of all morality, and I'm afraid a mere restoration of the enlightenment philosophy of the Founding Fathers would be inadequate to do this.
