He was hired by some white guys as a front man because he was black.  They 
wanted to organize black churches.  He was "assigned" 20 churches to 
"organize."  He wasn't getting anywhere with those churches.  The "white 
guys" told him that folks in the church preferred someone who was a church 
member.  He went scouting thorugh the 20 churches and came up with Wright. 
Liked Wright, joined his church and found out the "white guys" were correct 
in that after he had a church to belong to the other churches welcomed him 
as "one of us" and were willing to work with him.

He also stated in an the faith debate that "religion is a tool."  That is a 
direct quote.
