I don't know much about BHO, but my understanding is that he was born muzzie and converted to Christianity when his wife made him do so.

Am I wrong?

Obama debunks claim about Islamic school (1/24/07)

"We will not be swift-boated," said Obama communications director Robert Gibbs. "And we won't take allegations that are patently untrue lying down."

Obama's mother, divorced from Obama's father, married a man from Indonesia named Lolo Soetoro, and the family relocated to the country from 1967-71. At first, Obama attended the Catholic school, Fransiskus Assisis, where documents showed he enrolled as a Muslim, the religion of his stepfather.

The document required that each student choose one of five state-sanctioned religions when registering — Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Catholic or Protestant. Gibbs said he wasn't sure why the document had Obama listed as a Muslim.

"Senator Obama has never been a Muslim," Gibbs said. "As a six-year-old in Catholic school, he studied the catechism."

The Illinois senator is a member of the United Church of Christ.

So when and where was he baptised as a Catholic? Did he go through confirmation? First communion?

Or is it like a lapel flag pin and just some ritual that people do for others to show they "care" more about religion than you do?
