-1AD? So 1BC, which is before jesus was born? Do you mean ~33AD and ~34AD? Also, the church would not have been condemning Jesus as it was established after his death. You might be thinking of a Synagogue and pre-Christian Judaiism.
Christians were heavily persecuted until around 312 with Emperor Constantine. Next time, if they want to say that, they should instead of saying it wrong in a roundabout way.
I'm disappointed in the community note. You'd think they'd have learned the thing most high school seniors do/did. Don't quote the Wikipedia article. Instead, quote the reference in the Wikipedia article. Much stronger of an argument.
Wikipedia editor here; there's some nuance. This article is listed as a Good Article, meaning it's been reviewed by another (almost certainly) experienced editor for verifiability, prose and style, coverage, neutrality, stability, etc. This was attained in 2013, and especially for such a prominent article, slipping below those standards is a recipe to get GA status revoked. Presumably this note is summarizing a large portion of coverage by Wikipedia and thus a variety of sources. You want to read and cite all of the sources rather than Wikipedia in something like a research paper, but for just a community note, there's really nothing wrong with this.
Also, his family doesn't just believe that the FBI was involved in his death. They provided convincing enough evidence for a judge to rule in court that the US government was responsible for MLK's death.

The church in -1AD: “Jesus is a threat to our society! We have to do something about him.”
The church in 1AD: “What an amazing person Jesus was, join us in singing songs about him.”
It’s easy to praise a revolutionary mind after they’re no longer a threat to your status quo.

Dates and name is wrong, a Jewish temple has never been called a church.

C'mon bro you know they mean the state-sanctioned religion before and after Jesus.

Still, you'd have to wait until ~300 AD for Christianity to become popular with the state

I believe there are limited sources that are valid on community notes, including Wikipedia

Brandon Herrera on YouTube made a great video recreating the shots that killed him to test if it was legit.
