His father is Muslim, but he was not raised by his father. His mother apparently is secular? Not sure, but I think that's what I heard. Obama, like many American adults, had the freedom to choose religion as an adult.

As it should be.

But then, I don't care about religion, except where it is linked to fanatacism, including and especially evangelism and proselytizing of any kind.

You want religion? Fine. But keep it to yourself.

That is my take on it, but clearly the easily manipulated American voters see it very differently.

I'm waiting for the day we elect our first secular president. Now THAT would show a sea change in politics. But a black guy and a white woman both acting like all the WASP politicians in history doesn't seem like change to me one iota.
