Is Barack Obama Muslim, Christian or both?

No I'm not confusing him with "Osama"! His father was Muslim from Kenya, and his mother an atheist. He spend two years in Muslim school in Jakarta and two in Catholic school....so that is why I ask what is he now? And also NO it doesn't matter to me what he is in regards to me deciding if he can do the job of President or not! I'm just curious!

1. He has never been muslim. Perhaps you are confusing him with "Osama"?
2. Doesn't matter. What does matter is if he is the right person for the job or not.
3. United Church of Christ idk is that Unitarian?
4. He is a Christian but has ties to Islam in his family. j
5. Looks like a kaffer to me.
6. He is Christian. His book "The Audacity of Hope" was a phrase he borrowed from his pastor. I think months ago there was an internet rumor going around that he was Muslim as a child. There wasn't any truth to the e-mail.
7. What would it matter????? Most Muslims are God fearing peace loving people. When people are yelling and screaming about the Muslims why does no one remember all the hell committed in the name of Christianity???? The Crusade, The Inquisition the hell that was the war in Ireland??? AS long as he's willing to do what's right for the US does his religion Matter no!!!! We have a Christian sitting in the White house now and he's the worse president that we've ever had. And since we've never had a President who wasn't Christian all of the Heck that this country has caused around the world has been brought on by Christians. And this country is not blameless by any means.
8. He is Barack Hussein Obama, that should give you a clue. The answer to your question would not necessarily be the religion he trots out for campaign purposes. Go back to his roots and research his life. That's the best way to determine his religion.
9. Wouldn't it be a wonderful world if it didn't matter-?
10. being a politician he is probably whatever he needs to be at that particular time.
11. What the heck are you, now that you have grown up? And enough said, as I know your parents are not telling you what to do with your life either. He is freaking a Christian, and let it go. Thank goodness he is not a freaking mormon.
12. I will give the low down about Obama and you may not like it but if you follow the links to the policitco.com articles and read it all you will not like or trust Obama. He is the biggest liar on the campaign trail. 1.. He used an innocent man in Iowa to get free new and his PR people lied to keep the spin going. This man is a Armenian Physicist here doing some work with some of the most important programs for Universities and the Government. And he was helping a friend in Cincinnati Ohio out with his novelty card business when Obama used him read the links. 2. He is not a Christian as you will not find one Muslim saying a word about his so called conversation from Islam. You can convert to Islam but not away as it is called a fatwa or to us a death sentence. No one word about this. 3. He stated he would invade Pakistan who is an alley on terrorism and barely holding on with eh Islamic extremist there. Which was done by Obama to destabilize this country that has a nuke and I will add the only Muslim country that does. Why would he do this even Hillary knows this is very bad. 4. He last week said he would never use the Nuke which was a signal that if he wins that they the Islamic terrorist who wishes us all to be dead can do it and he will not act. Id this what you want for a president? No look at what Turkey did to Christians and they will end all of the things you love on the left as we are all infidels to them and the left here is satin itself. http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0707/Enter_the_Armenians.html
13. He is a closet jihadist trying to ruin America.
14. Nice answer is both. Mean answer is Christian for convenience of running.
15. What does is matter? You aren't voting for a pastor, you are voting for the President of the United States. As long as his religion isn't some kind of bizarre violent cult, what does it matter? What does it matter if he doesn't believe in a god? What does it matter if he's gay or bisexual? Alll that matters is that he/she is a great leader for our country.
16. Whichever earns him more votes.
17. Well, I read in his 1st book that his father and grand-father were Muslim and he also attended Muslim prayer meetings while living in Indonesia. Whether or not he accepted the faith, he attended these meetings in his formative years and they must have some influence on his life and thinkings. As far as being Christian now; the church he attends is online and check out the doctrine. There has been some controversy about it. With all that said, I wrote him a letter myself and asked why a US Senator was swearing on the Koran instead of the Bible (last January) in a US Senator swearing in ceremony(not him but another US Senator). He wrote back and said that there is no religious test for being US Senator or President. He also said that he swore in on the Bible, but in so many words respected other's wishes to swear in on the Koran. He sent info that there is no requirement to swear on the Bible. Take it for what it is worth to you.
