Martin Luther was a horrible anti-semite and this showed through in most of his writings. It probably influenced his decision to leave Catholicism as Catholicism is firmly based on Judaism, and considers the entire Old Testament as relevant to Christian life, and fulfilled in Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ. Martin Luther did more than reject the Old Testament, he rejected the Ten Commandments and the entire moral and ethical basis for Christianity.

Why was Martin Luther King Jr. named after an anti-Semite?

Indeed, Martin Luther, the founder of the Lutheran Church, was an anti-Semite, but like many people with deep flaws, he also did other things. Anti-semitism was not a central feature of Lutheran belief or of his life's work, and in the pre-World-War-II era when King was born, many people were not aware of Martin Luther's antisemitism, while just about everyone knew of his role in the Protestant Reformation. There is no doubt that King's parents named him for Martin Luther in his role as a reformer, not for his role as an antisemite.
