I was surprised when I saw his lackadaisical clapping a few months back.

From Democrats must craft their own message of faith (BARF ALERT) , July 9, 2006

From FR: Barack Hussein Obama puts his faith in spotlight (LAUGH ALERT) , June 29, 2006

Religion is no small matter to Barack Hussein Obama. But it has not always been that way.

"I was not raised in a particularly religious household. My father, who returned to Kenya when I was just 2, was Muslim but as an adult became an atheist. My mother, whose parents were non-practicing Baptists and Methodists, grew up with a healthy skepticism of organized religion herself. As a consequence, I did, too.

"It wasn't until after college, when I went to Chicago to work as a community organizer for a group of Christian churches, that I confronted my own spiritual dilemma,'' he said. His embrace of Christianity was "a choice and not an epiphany," and his spiritual home is Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago.
