I have to disagree with your question. I don't believe this site is biased in favor of President Obama at all. There was a time when the site had a lot of anti-Obama talking points and assorted conspiracy myths, but most of those have been corrected-- not because we favor him, but because we favor accuracy. In other words, we try to avoid answers that contain rumors or false information, and that's true whether the question is about Barack Obama, George W. Bush, or whoever.
There are many people who answer questions on this site, and they come from a wide range of political views. All we ask is that they answer accurately, and not give information that is partisan. Sometimes, people who dislike a candidate (or a president) want to see answers that reflect their dislike, but we really try not to do that. Our goal is to be fair to the facts. So, if you have seen answers that seem pro-Obama, and I am sure there are some, those may be opinion questions, and anyone is entitled to his or her opinion. (The same for anti-Obama answers: if it's an opinion question, we generally leave those answers alone, as long as nobody is being libelous in what they have written.) But as far as the factual questions (did Barack Obama do X, did Barack Obama say Y), I believe the vast majority of answers are neutral: we mainly try to answer them honestly.

What does it mean if a site is biased?
It takes a certain side, like if you vote democrat or republican. A website is biased if it is run, funded, or influenced by interests that support or oppose the subject of the site. For example, if the website states that cigarettes do not cause cancers and is funded in large part by a tobacco growers association, that site would be biased in opposition of medical tests that prove that cigarette smoking causes cancers.

Why Facebook are bias to the atheist?
Facebook is a social networking site, and as such will be "biased" toward the majority.Answer:There is no evidence that Facebook is biased towards any religious (or non-religious) point of view. If the majority of people there are of one opinion it simply reflects the statistical opinion of the majority of the users. A bias would require that the Facebook organization remove dissenting opinions or members to meet their purposes, there is no indication that this happens.
