3. Anyone who thinks that religion is not poliltical
is naive. Often the leaders practice fascism or forms of dictatorship with devout followers believing they are being spiritual.

As with many who indulge in politics, it is subject to, and often has succumbed to corruption, lies, greed and debauchery.

I do not believe that the Rev. King began a religious crusade to demonstrate how religious beliefs should prevail over the law. He began a civil rights campaign, a campaign for justice, and happened to be a minister. I don't mean to take anything away from him by saying that.

If there were another like him now, I would be more than happy to see her or him,(doesn't have to be a minister), work the same approach and get the same results.

It seems, the successful approach used by Dr. King, is being used more by religious fascists campaigning to manipulate and change the laws.
