Fascinating article. I will point out that determining what King's theology was is made more difficult by his documented habit of plagiarizing his liberal white colleagues' work. While I'm certain that he acknowledged all this post-Christian Teutonic blather as a useful construct for maintaining a Christian facade, I believe that this is precisely what it was: a facade. His real interest was radical socialism and the erasure of republican government and civil society.

The civil rights movement was his first taste of power - by 1965 he had already moved on to the next level.

While the author of the piece meant it to be a compliment, it appears King’s beliefs were a LOT closer to being Unitarian, than any sort of Christian in a meaningful sense.

That doesn’t take away the great things he did...as did Gandhi. Still, makes a bit of a mockery of all those (black, and “progressive-evangelicals”) who keep calling him a great Christian statesman.....

If one cannot say the Apostles or Nicene Creeds honestly...I really believe it is false advertising to claim to be a Christian at all.
