Why do you feel the need to lie about Obama's religious beliefs?
He was agnostic until his 20s, when he became a christian. His mother was always agnostic. She brought him up agnostic, but insisted that he study Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, and Hindu religions to get a sense of morals, to learn right from wrong. But, she dismissed the beliefs of any one religion as being more correct or significant than any other.
When in his 20s, he felt that there was something missing in his life. He saw churches as a part of the community that brought people together, and united them socially as well as spiritually. Of his own free will - and with the knowledge of many different religions - he chose to believe in and practice the Christian religion. He has ever since.
Instead of citing some website that obviously has some animosity against Obama (and probably against black people in general), try getting the information straight from the source. It's all in his book, The Audacity of Hope. I read it. And, in this book, he basically addresses all of the concerns people have of him and his ability to run for president. And, this book was published in 2005.
That's why people have to stoop so low as to accuse him of being a Muslim as some last grasp at a straw to discredit the man. Any issue that his political opponents can bring up against him (except stupid, petty things like "he plagiarized a speech from some other senator") have already been addressed by Obama years ago ... and in writing.
So, I suggest that you just get used to the fact that Obama is going to be the first African American president in our country's history. And, after those 4 years, if you have any complaints, vote for somebody else.
