Very big difference. Obama's "church" advocated communist "Black Liberation Theology" and Revolution. It's an entirely bogus 'religious' movement concocted by communists decades ago. It was no accident that he wound up there. Read up on it. The links above are a good starting point.
No. There is NO difference. Not in the eyes of God. They will end up in the same place. That is the perspective from which I am looking.
