He says that he holds to a Christian faith and has a record of attending Christian services. His secret beliefs , if any, are his own secret.
His father and stepfather were Muslim, which may be how rumors of Obama's Muslim faith started. Obama was baptized at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago.
President Obama is not Muslim. He was raised as a protestant Christian. His biological father was born Muslim, but by the time of Barack's birth, his dad was a non-practicing Muslim who no longer believed in any religion.
Another user said:
His father(s) were Muslim, he was raised with Muslim teaching but claims to have a Christian faith now.
Which makes him CHRISTIAN. Islam is not a race, it is a faith. He does not claim, he states he is.
By the way, by Obama's own admission he was raised in a pretty secular household. And why is his mother's faith so irrelevant in this rather juvenile argument?
He was mainly raised by his grandparents, and they were Protestant Christians.
NO. He has said repeatedly that he is a Christian, but he is likely not terribly religious. Because he grew up in Indonesia, Obama may have a fondness for Muslims greater than the average American, but this does not make him Muslim.
Barack Obama's father's name before he converted to Islam was Barack Obama Sr.
0. Barack Obama was raised Christian and still is Christian. He was never Muslim. Barack Obama's father and that family was Muslim, but as Barack grew up primarily with his mother he was not exposed to that as much.
no
No
He was never a Muslim.
Barack Obama was sworn in on the Lincoln Family Bible in the 2009 inauguration. Barack Obama has stated that he is a Christian. The idea that Barack Obama is a Muslim came from Obama- fearing propaganda.
yes he does
He (Barack Obama) is NOT Muslim. He is Christian.
NO!
That's not what he said. He said the U.S. is not a Christian nation.
of course he is
none.
