His father was muslim, his step father was muslim and his mother an atheist. You can bet the farm that he was raised Muslim. He says he’s a “devout Christian” only for political reasons. I thought liberals hated Christianity anyway. Look at the way they have critisized Bush because he is a Christian. Husseins views on abortion are about as far from Christian as you can get. He’s just a liar.

He says he’s a “devout Christian” only for political reasons.

If he is a devout Christian he would not SUPPORT PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTION. His religion is called “liberal”.

You make a very good point. But one correction: liberals always use the church and religious people and religiosity when it suits them, which is when the religious issue at point is liberal-based. Remember when Lieberman ran with Algore and the Dems and liberals were touting his orthodoxy and strong, religious-based morality? Remember how they revere ML King?

They despise a religious faith that is stronger than a faith in statism. If someone’s religion is subservient to the state, they not only accept it, they promote to try to convince the ‘other religious types that ‘true’ religion serves the state, rather than God.

Actually, Obama was raised as an atheist until he was 6, a Muslim until he was 9, and a Unitarian until he was 18 - when he left his grandparents' home.

His memories of Islam cannot be all that pleasant, since his Muslim stepfather essentially convinced his mother to get rid of him by sending him away to Hawaii.
