...the doctrine of Jainism is an objectively better guide for becoming like Martin Luther King, Jr., than the doctrine of Christianity is. While King undoubtedly considered himself a devout Christian, he acquired his commitment to nonviolence primarily from the writings of Mohandas K. Gandhi. In 1959, he even traveled to India to learn the principles of nonviolent social protest directly from Gandhis disciples. Where did Gandhi, a Hindu, get his doctrine of nonviolence? He got it from the Jains. -Sam Harris on MLK Jr. from A letter to a Christian Nation
