Is barack obama a muslim or christian?

I found out from a news article that he was raised in Indonesia and went to a Muslim school for 2 years.

Public Comments

1. He is a member of the United Church of Christ.
2. He is a Christian.
3. He attended a Muslim school very briefly, but he is a Christian. His mother sent him to various schools when he was younger. He's been involved with the United Church of Christ since the mid 1980's. An e-mail rumor has started claiming that Obama is Muslim by faith, but that's not true. http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/muslim.asp N.G., are you just repeating the rumor to show that it's a rumor? Because you post the about.com link that exposes that rumor as a lie. Wow...2 thumbs down for telling the truth about Obama? Why do people oppose the truth? Are horror stories about a Muslim takeover of the presidency more fun to tell around conservative campfires?
4. He was born Muslim, but he is a devout Christian now.
5. Who cares if he went to a Muslim school for 2 years. The man has stated over and over and over again that he is Christian. What more do you people want from him to prove he's Christian?
6. Birthdate: August 4, 1961 (Honolulu, Hawaii) Hometown: Jakarta, Indonesia; Honolulu, Hawaii Spouse: Michelle Robinson Obama Children: Malia Ann Obama, Sasha Obama Religion: United Church of Christ
7. Obama is a socialist muslim former Black Panther whose grandfather slaughtered white settlers in the MauMau uprising in Kenya. Obama is so over.
8. Barack Obama is an American citizen who claims to be a Christian. I won't hold that against him.
9. What does it matter?
10. He is a Christian. he did live in Indonesia but went to a public school and then a Catholic school. He has been attending the same church for 20 years. But with all that said - why would it matter if he was a muslim?
11. Who cares... he's a communist.
12. Christian for sure. If he was muslim no one would vote for him. I'm just being realistic here.
13. Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Hussein Obama Sr. (black muslim) of Nyangoma-Kogelo, Siaya District, Kenya, and Ann Dunham of Wichita, Kansas. (white atheist ). When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced and his father returned to Kenya. His mother married Lolo Soetoro -- a Muslim -- moving to Jakarta with Obama when he was six years old. Within six months he had learned to speak the Indonesian language. Obama spent "two years in a Muslim school, then two more in a Catholic school" in Jakarta. Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim while admitting that he was once a Muslim, mitigating that damning information by saying that, for two years, he also attended a Catholic school. Obama's father, Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. was a radical Muslim who migrated from Kenya to Jakarta, Indonesia. He met Obama's mother, Ann Dunham-a white atheist from Wichita, Kansas-at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Obama, Sr. and Dunham divorced when Barack, Jr. was two. Obama's spinmeisters are now attempting to make it appear that Obama's introduction to Islam came from his father and that influence was temporary at best. In reality, the senior Obama returned to Kenya immediately following the divorce and never again had any direct influence over his son's education. Dunham married another Muslim, Lolo Soetoro who educated his stepson as a good Muslim by enrolling him in one of Jakarta's Wahabbi schools. Wahabbism is the radical teaching that created the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad on the industrialized world. Since it is politically expedient to be a Christian when you are seeking political office in the United States, Obama joined the United Church of Christ to help purge any notion that he is still a Muslim. Handsome . . . Charming . . . Winsome . . . Dangerous . . . Deceptive . . . Determined
14. Speaking bluntly, in a real presidential election, no one in their right mind would vote for Obama. That would be like voting for the guy who just moved in down the street from you, that you wave to from time to time but don't know a thing about. That's Obama. He's been a US Senator for about 100 days, give or take a week. Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim while admitting that he was once a Muslim, mitigating that damning information by saying that, for two years, he also attended a Catholic school. Obama's father, Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. was a radical Muslim who migrated from Kenya to Jakarta, Indonesia.
