Obama's father was Muslim, his mother Christian. There are many cultures who assign the child's birth religion according to the father or to the mother. In America, adopted religion or belief takes precedence, and Obama has lived his life as a church-going Christian.

Absolutely.

Barack Obama was raised mainly by his maternal grandparents, who were Protestant Christians (many sources say Methodists, several say Unitarians). There is no credible evidence that he is anything other than a Christian, although it should be noted he comes from a very multicultural extended family which includes relatives who are Buddhist, Christian, Muslim, and even Jewish.
