I don't consider religious people to be wise..so why should I look up to them like they're wise?

Well religiosity doesn't prevent a person from making poignant observations about injustice in society.
So I don't see why a person should look down on MLK, Malcolm or any other civil rights leader for their religious beliefs.
Which should be largely separated from their ultimately humanitarian ideals.

Takes a real idiot to claim to be an atheist
Takes an insecure idiot to seek validation for their thougths from others

What makes you think that religious people can't give out wisdom? Does being religious make Malcolm teachings about white supremacy any less valid?
lets get this thread on stable footing.....
Real talk, as a people, looking toward religion in ANY form should be far from our priorities if we wanna get out ship righted in the proper direction. Back in the MLK days, the church held its position but also was a semi "safe" (no one was really safe) place to meet, organize and build relationships for one another. You knew you could count on a fellow brother or sister. But lets not pretend that church, like religion, is (IMO) the biggest hustle in the history of humanity. Look at the modern black church and look at modern Negroes and folks are no further and in fact are light years behind the organizational backbone that helped support King, Abernathy, Evers and whoever else came to these Southern cities to be apart of the struggle with them.
The church was an effective way to spotlight and showcase our leaders but you can't ingest the religion of your ancestral oppressor and hope to "beat" him with the same "turn the other check" indoctrinated bullshyt that a group of those cavemen decided to conjure up thousands of years ago as a vehicle to manipulate/control the masses.
Whether your an atheist or not, folks need to be set on practicing group economics, coming to a realization about racial politics, learning basic science/math/reading comprehension, living healthier lifestyle and MOST IMPORTANTLY, learning how to communication to one another (which should be the first fukkin step). Folks don't know how to talk to one another on some man/man, woman/woman, man/woman, adult/child type shyt. The root is in the organization, not just gathering in a fukkin building with a lower case "t" in front where you rock a Steve Harvey suit, Stacey Adams and trick off a few single dollar bills in the collection plate.

Whatever the reason for the injustice, it doesn't make their movement any less powerful.
I'm not sure what your point is here, are they not to be revered for making great strides
for African Americans because of their religious beliefs ?
Does the "I have a dream" speech or Martin's belief in helping
the poor somehow lose it's power and relevance because a religious guy said it ?
Does Stokely Carmicheal's coining of the term "Black Power" no longer matter
because he was religious ?
Does Malcolm X suddenly become an ignorant with no understanding of the dynamics
of race and racism during his times because he chose to become a muslim ?
You're not making much sense here at all actually, saying or making smart observations
is ultimately just that and a person's personal beliefs shouldn't factor into it.
