You just don't hear about them because they aren't out there ranting and raving. Instead they are quietly working in soup kitchens, volunteering in food banks, etc. They may or may not go to church on Sunday, but the try and live according to the tenants of Christianity.

" If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned,[a] but have not love, I gain nothing."

Christianity is a religion of love, not hate. "Love does not insist on its own way."

Remember, Dr. King was a Christian. He was a Rev as well as a Dr.
