Dr. King, Argument from Authority

[KevinM1]

And our point is that the charity you seem dead set on only focusing on is not a religious act, but a human one, and one that would be happening, christianity or no.

Prove it! Your claim goes against King's own words on the matter. You must think he was lying.

No one thinks King was lying.

What people are saying is that even if King wasn't Christian, he very likely would have done the same things because his struggle stemmed from being a black man in the American south in the early-to-middle parts of the 20th century rather than because he was Christian.

IMO, the most we can attribute to his Christianity is his oratory style, which was undoubtedly forged in the church, and which made his message more palatable to hear for many.
