"Any religion that professes to be concerned with the souls of men and is not concerned with the slums that damn them, the economic conditions that strangle them, and the social conditions that cripple them is a dry-as-dust religion. Such a religion is the kind the Marxists like to see - an opiate of the people." -- Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (b. 1929-01-15, d. 1968-04-04), Stride Toward Freedom, 1958

Was he an atheist, in that case? I think that's a little rich coming from him assuming he's referring to a Bible that says the poor will always be amongst us, that if you're a slave to be the best slave you can be, that the meek shall be exalted on, and on and on. Had he actually ever read it?
