By what I've read/learned, I assume he never really was a big church goer until he was an adult. So What? BUT then he's got that scary middle name, HUSSEIN that the right love to emphasize. OMG, I said it. rolleyes

Politifact sums it up this way:

Obama’s own writings, independent biographies and news articles show he had a secular childhood. Sure, he went to an Indonesian school where most of the children were Muslim and there are accounts that he sometimes attended a mosque with his Islamic stepfather. But there is no evidence that the president was a practicing Muslim raised in the faith.


Btw, my family is Catholic. I have two grandchildren who went/are going to a Religious "Non-Catholic" preschool. I do NOT consider them to be of that faith even tho the Preschool incorporate religion (although admittedly since they are 4yr olds, it doesn't play a major role) in their teachings.

Obama's own stepdad registered Obama as a Muslim. He did the right thing considering every father he had was a Muslim. That would have been his religion as a child. Most people consider themselves to be whatever religion their parents forced them to be as children even if they stop observing as adults. For Obama it would have been Islam as a child in Indonesia.

Obama describes "conversion" to Christianity. He's right.
