I disagree that this issue is irrelevant because it is being used as a dirt-slinging weapon against Obama by GOP fundamentalists. Remember the ignorant woman at the McCain campaign who proclaimed, "He's an A-rab" prompting McCain to say "No, maam."
Where did she get that crap?

People who bring up this issue have a political axe to grind insisting that Obama is not an American citizen....in short it's a "birther" issue.

The question is not valid since Obama has shown that he is a Christian and that he attends Christian services, formerly one through Reverend Wright who was vilified when what he was intending to say is that America's foreign policy leaves something to be desired and perhaps had a criticism of the persecution of black people in America. Obama threw him under the "proverbial bus" and distanced himself from Wright's outburst to placate the Reactionary Right.

Anyone who questions Obama's religion has a right to do so but the over preponderance of evidence in Obama's own words and church attendance is that he is unquestionably a Christian and not a Muslim as this thread question implies.

Obama is not a non-believer because he uses "god bless America" at the end of every speech. I think even Irving Berlin, if he were around, might throw up.
