Religion is hundreds of cults. I haven't joined a church since the 70s. That doesn't mean I'm not still religious. I just find flaws with every organization I run into.

Einstein was a religious Jew … a helluva lot smarter than I am.
Some people are so smart, they don't think they need to examine any evidence that God exists. There are too many non-coincidences to deny it.

Einstein was not a conventional believer. He stated "I believe in Spinoza's God" that is, he did not believe in a personal God who concerns himself with fates and actions of human beings.
they don't think they need to examine any evidence that God exists.
Which is, apart from personal credulity and the claims of scripture?
There are too many non-coincidences to deny it.
Which are?
I think you'll find things are a little more complicated than that. -

i agree absolutely… but then Dr. King's messages and his arguments would never have seen light of day. It's self-evidently true that King's positions on the categorical immorality and unjustness of segregation were entirely derivable from 100% secular arguments, he used the "authority" of scripture to add another layer to his criitiques, thereby forcing his opponents to work even harder to counter him; and also drawing NEW proponents into the civil rights movement ,those who were called by the Word.
