Read his speeches, including the Letter from a Birmingham Jail. He explained his campaign of civil disobedience by saying that segregation laws were contrary to the moral law or God's law.
Many of the abolitionists, like King, used the moral authority of their religion to force America to change, for the better.
So is it an appeal to religious and moral values that people oppose, or is it merely opposition to religious groups' positions on abortion and same-sex marriage?
Or are people really so hostile to religion in general? If you are, then logically you must think that Dr. King was either a fraud (for speaking in the name of a religious belief that he knew was "a fable" as one answerer put it) or a fool (for believing in God).
I think he was neither. I think he was a great man.
