Full truth with quotes and references in Daniel Pipe’s article.
Was Barack Obama a Muslim?
http://www.danielpipes.org/article/5286
“His former Roman Catholic and Muslim teachers, along with two people who were identified by Obama’s grade-school teacher as childhood friends, say Obama was registered by his family as a Muslim at both schools he attended.”
....
Also read the excerpt in Time mag from Obama’s Audacity of Hope, where he rambles on about his religion:
“In our household the Bible, the Koran, and the Bhagavad Gita sat on the shelf alongside books of Greek and Norse and African mythology.
...
The Christians with whom I worked recognized themselves in me; they saw that I knew their Book and shared their values and sang their songs. But they sensed that a part of me remained removed, detached, an observer among them.
...
It was because of these newfound understandings — that religious commitment did not require me to suspend critical thinking, disengage from the battle for economic and social justice, or otherwise retreat from the world that I knew and loved — that I was finally able to walk down the aisle of Trinity United Church of Christ one day and be baptized. It came about as a choice and not an epiphany; the questions I had did not magically disappear.”
It’s worth reading — it’s NOT a discourse of a religious person, more like that of one who felt he had to pick a religion to advance his political agenda and is justifying it.
Sorry, forgot to add the link to the excerpt from Obama’s book:
