Social change was going to happen regardless of Martin Luther King. He just so happened to be in it in the right place at the right time. Religion helped him be a pacifist in a struggle for his human rights. Malcolm X was religious as well and was a muslim and wanted equality by any means necessary also not denying a militant approach if need be.

In the end despite where they came from they were going to social change as human beings and yes, the MAN is the sum of his parts. The religion helped him to be a pacifist. There were times when MLK wanted to be militant just like Malcolm X, but he didn't. 

As I said if you're a fan of Xmen, Magneto and Profession Xavier were created off of both of their ideologies and approach to social change. 

So did religion or it's influence play a positive role in Kings struggle?

As for the X-Men I have a few issues but it isn't a comic I'm well versed in. 

No it just influenced pacifism, same with Ghandi, but Ghandi wasn't Christian was he? it just influenced pacifism, nothing but that. He fought for social change as a man, but his religion taught him not to fight with fists. its as simple as that.

What made Ghandi stand out?
