6. What about gays and women?
>>"would be hard to imagine the civil rights movement or almost any other major social movement in American history without mention of God or Faith."

Most, if not all, social movements are a reaction AGAINST traditions of christianity/god/faith. Gay rights. Women's rights. Slavery was never condemned in the bible, and was used as the moral basis for racism. MLK was but one leader in the black civil rights movement. He could never have gotten where he did without the black panthers or MalcolmX scaring the white folk. Blacks weren't gonna take the shit anymore.
