President Obama has said on numerous occasions in public that he is a Christian. See the related question below for more information on his religion.
Should anyone care? No: as long as he does the right thing, and bases his decisions on evidence rather than belief or faith. If he does that, then what his personal beliefs actually are is as irrelevant to me as what he chose to eat for breakfast last Tuesday.
Actually, neither was a Muslim. President Obama's father was born a Muslim but stopped practicing it and became an atheist. His mother was born a Christian but was not very religious.
There is no law against an atheist being president.
The president has never said in any book that he is a Muslim, nor has he said it in any interview. Contrary to internet myths, Mr. Obama is not a Muslim; he is a Christian. But in his book "Dreams from my Father," he talked about his father's life-- his father was born a Muslim but left that religion and became an atheist. By the time President Obama was born, his father had no religion at all.
Only President Obama can answer that question for sure. I recently read his book "The Audacity of Hope", and I became slowly convinced that he was an atheist.. right up until his chapter on "faith". I am still not convinced that he is religious: he may just have recognised that it is impossible to be elected to high office in the USA unless you say you are a Christian.One can certainly say (and President Obama himself says) that he is a strong secularist, and believes in the separation of church and state - and that religion is a personal matter.He is very heavily influenced by Abraham Lincoln, who was not a Christian (and was probably an atheist). See attached link for a well-written article on this subject. The debate will, no doubt, continue.If he is, he's doing a GREAT job of hiding it. He is a member of the United Church of Christ.AnswerIn his own words on national news broadcasts President Obama has averred his Christian faith. The President is, maybe a liberal Christian, but a Christian nonetheless. President Obama continued the faith based initiatives created in the Bush administration. The President believes in some form of God in the Christian tradition.
