Speaking of Obama....
He's a "christian".
BUT.

All of the people shouting out "he's a muslim!!!" are ignorant.
This country was NOT founded on Christian principles as so many people like to think.
And if someone is going to discount him because his name is "Obama" and that "sounds like Osama", then that person really needs to get a life or grow a brain.
Lying matters. And, yes, our founders were Christian and their thinking was based on the Bible.
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station

16In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.--Romans 2
