What denomination of Christianity does Barack Obama claim to belong?

Answer 1

He is a Protestant, and belongs to a more liberal/moderate strain of Christianity. He has attended Christian churches of several denominations, including Methodist and United Church of Christ. Some conservative Christians say he cannot be a Christian because he does not belong a more conservative branch of Christianity, but he and his wife do believe in Jesus Christ and they have raised their children as Christians.

Answer 2

President Obama is Christian, though doesn't appear to belong to a specific denomination. Although his father was Muslim, Barack himself never actually adopted that particular faith.

He is a Christian

Answer 3

When living in Chicago, he and wife Michelle were members of the Trinity United Church of Christ. Since moving to Washington, DC, they have not officially selected a church to join, preferring instead to visit different churches of different Protestant denominations around the city. Their visits over the past two years (2011-2013) have mainly been to St. John's Episcopal church, which is located near the White House.

Answer 4

First, there is considerable evidence his belief in Christianity is more than just a "claim." Based on his public statements as well as his writings, he is a Protestant, and seems to be a moderate; this has caused certain conservative Christians to accuse him of not being Christian at all. But while he does not follow a fundamentalist version of the Christian faith, Christianity does seem important to his family life. He has attended church services from several Christian denominations over the past several decades, including the Methodists and the United Church of Christ. He and his wife Michelle have also said they are raising their children as Christians; but they have not spoken much about which denomination they prefer.

Answer 5

He is a Protestant Christian, which is what his children are being raised. However, both he and Michelle have relatives who are from a number of different religions.
