Probably some of them. Just like in your neocon biker-bar Bush/Hitler scenario. You will still have to choose your words carefully ...
Besides, I can't compare a non-fiction character (MLK) with one that I believe to be fictional (the Legend of Jesus). Whether or not there was an actual man called Jesus to whom all this NT Christianity is attributed is up in the air for me (and a topic for another post).
I suppose you could have said, "The teachings of Martin Luther King are the most profound since the teachings of Jesus."
Furthermore, with regard to MLK and Jesus as people, there is no "IS" ... only "WAS."
