Well. It's probably a good idea for us to obtain an understanding of other people. Especially a candidate for the Presidency of the United States. A seemingly good place to start is to gain an understanding of a persons core beliefs.

Anyone who takes religion too seriously shouldn't be in office, or even in any kind of power. I'm a revolutionist ;).

Obama said:
This isn't to say that she provided me with no religious instruction. In her mind, a working knowledge of the world's great religions was a necessary part of any well-rounded education. In our household the Bible, the Koran, and the Bhagavad Gita sat on the shelf alongside books of Greek and Norse and African mythology. On Easter or Christmas Day my mother might drag me to church, just as she dragged me to the Buddhist temple, the chinese New Year celebration, the Shinto shrine, and ancient Hawaiian burial sites. But I was made to understand that such religious samplings required no sustained commitment on my part. Religion was an expression of human culture, she would explain, not its wellspring, just one of the many ways — and not necessarily the best way — that man attempted to control the unknowable and understand the deeper truths about our lives.

My point is that perhaps people can overcome their own bigotry. At least there is hope.

well i wouldnt label it bigotry if it turned out that Obama was born and registered a muslim as a child ,three quarters of the Islamic world would say the great satan is ran by an apostate ( if he was president) , its a possible international catastrophe and needed to be asked and clarified
