No, he wasn't a devout man of God. He was a godless man who liked to have sex with prostitutes and beat them up. He was having multiple affairs on his wife at the time he was murdered.

He was also a communist who thought companies should be forced to hire black people based on the number of them that lived nearby regardless of their qualifications or the company's needs.

He committed plagiarism to get his doctorate.

Even his name was an assumed name and not his legal name.

The media whitewashed his real record and a judge sealed his FBI records.
