So what is your point? You do realize that it was primarily the civil rights movement that caused many southern democrats to switch to the Republican Party, right? This is not something I'd be boasting about if I was a (non-racist) Republican.
There were many from every political party and from every religious faith, plus atheists and agnostics, who were championing civil rights in the United States, and many foreigners as well.
Martin Luther King was a devout Christian and as a result it would be closer to the truth that Christians most helped to bring civil rights to the Southern United States, not irreligious left wingers.
