For political reasons he'll says he's a liberal Christian but my gut tells me he's more in the agnostic or atheist camp.

Why would Obama spend twenty years in his church for political reasons? Reagan almost never went to church, and Christians loved him.

If you want to say attending church makes one a Christian, then so be it but I'm personally aware of individuals who do so even though they don't believe.

It makes quite a lot of difference actually i think there would be a clash of interests between his allegiance to the Ummah and to the interests of the USA. The same as if he was a Jew how would this be perceived with regards to the middle east and the US relations with Arab nations, so yes i think it makes a lot of difference what the religion is of the most powerful man in the world and its slightly naive to think it doesn't matter. come to think of it i dont think he would ever stand a chance of being elected if he came out and said he was an atheist.

So, Christians are the only ones capable of being President.

That is the biggest load I've ever heard.

Since he is a baptised member of a christian church and since he has quite clearly said he has faith in Jesus Christ then he is a Christian. It takes more than birth to make you a Muslim.

1) I'm not eligible to run for another seven years, but soon, soon....
2) If that's what you mean, then I unfortunately have to agree. It makes me a little sick. If the manner in which one worships the invisible sky creature is the deciding factor in his (or finally her) electability, we have some serious contemplation to do as a country.
