Is Stephen King Yehuborim?

I do not think the man himself is Yehuborim (though he kinda has that look to him). I would say though that his writings have a very xtian feel to them. The Stand for example being about God vs “the devil” with a clear distinction between God good and devil bad. In The Dark Tower series, his magnum opus, the good and evil motifs of his writing are further expounded. It’s very simplistic and culture driven. But I think he is too grounded of a writer to have some grander meaning to them beyond something Tolkien-esque. In other words, I don’t think his works have any ulterior motives one way or the other, they’ve always just read like the standard pulp.
 
I’m a particularly big fan of King. I highly doubt he’s Yehuborim. King isn’t a Yehuborim last name nor is his mother’s maiden name Pillsbury. In his biography he claims to be raised in a New England Methodist household.

He also claims to be xian currently to an extent and believes in god.

I’ve read so many of his books, never got a Yehuborim vibe, but actually the contrary. Many bad guys in his books have Yehuborim last names lol. I’ve always taken note of that while reading. Lawyers and bankers often have Yehuborim surnames in his books as well. Many of his books are dark and creepy, but as he’s said in his interviews, “to like creepy doesn’t make you creepy.” I’ve noted a lot of beauty in his books, as have many other fans I talk to.

Two of those links don't talk about the Stephen King I'm asking about, but rather an economist.

First two links are not of the writer Stephen King.
Is an homonym.
