My Spiritual Journey by Barack Obama. It's worth a read for insight into this man.

In our household the Bible, the Koran, and the Bhagavad Gita sat on the shelf alongside books of Greek and Norse and African mythology. On Easter or Christmas Day my mother might drag me to church, just as she dragged me to the Buddhist temple, the Chinese New Year celebration, the Shinto shrine, and ancient Hawaiian burial sites. But I was made to understand that such religious samplings required no sustained commitment on my part--no introspective exertion or self-flagellation. Religion was an expression of human culture, she would explain, not its wellspring, just one of the many ways--and not necessarily the best way--that man attempted to control the unknowable and understand the deeper truths about our lives.

Obama states his religion is: United Church of Christ. (that doesn't make alot of sense - but here is a little about Obama's UCC)

UCC supports abortion and homosexuality.

In fact in April UCC is hosting a 'Called out for Good' conference for ordained ministers and other clergy . There are many other LGBT conferences.

They are Against the Patriot Act

You posted that for...what reason? Sojourners likes him, that's reason enough to disown his 'spiritual journey.'
