You're broadening the discussion more than is necessary.

Whether morals and religion coincide really makes no difference in this case.

King, a "religious" leader, did not follow his religion or the morals he purported to uphold.

He was a liar, a cheater(in more ways than one), and a conman, as are most of the "spiritual leaders" of that particular movement. He had quite a dream - cheating his way through college! Now thats a role model for ya.

But he was black, so none of that matters. Lets just sweep it under the rug, shall we? (before the accusations of racism start)
