Somebody somewhere on Facebook said Martin Luther King wasn't a Christian, so I Googled. It seems he wasn't, according to the information I found.
His statue is on the West Front of Westminster Abbey but he was not a saint. He slept with two prostitutes on the night before he was murdered and it now appears he beat women. He plagiarised his doctoral thesis.
I say all this not because I am sanctimonious or even dislike him. On the contrary, I admire him. But I do get bored by the way he is treated as a secular saint in the inchoate new religion of equality which is replacing Christianity.
