On The Religious Left, Great Expectations
The first priorities for Barack Obama's administration will be the economy and a variety of foreign policy issues. But the burgeoning religious left, which worked so hard to get Obama elected, expects some movement on its issues, including a robust White House office of faith-based initiatives, pove

Howard Dean's Vindication
God-o-Meter wrote a piece for today's Roll Call on the vindication of Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean's much-derided 50-State Strategy, which is largely about reaching out to the nation's more religious voters in the red states:

More Innacurate Faith Storylines From the Media
God-o-Meter is struck by the number of faith-based storylines the news media appear to have gotten dead wrong this year.
One was the line that Obama was poised to make big gains among white votes, especially evangelicals, who were undergoing a generational shift in their political thinking and reexa

Good for him for saying that!
and what I’d like to say to the rest of this story on 2nd page is:
Obama has NOT ever been muslim. And even if he had been
does that make him not worthy of serving a country?????
and to top it off, would
it not make him a Christian now..????? !
Obama is the wisest, strongest, and most authentic
candidate FOR SURE. If you want to know more
go to his direct website and go to KNOW THE FACTS!
Please!!

Would Obama be a better presidential candidate if he was a pure christian? What about all the disgusting sexual practices carried out by the catholic archdioscese preaching the religion.What are they preaching the christian society about sex and relationships.Is going to church and listening to these preachers better than being born to a muslim and taking Koranic lessons.Islam is a religion that teaches peace and embraces all prophets Jesus and Moses.The Koran is the only book which is AS IS. Not a single change made.Not even a dot added.I am proud to be a muslim. Obama is denying being a muslim even though he was born to a muslim father.He should read more about Islam with an open mind.All this News about questioning of Obamas faith and putting him down just because he was born a muslim is ashaming.What if Obama stood up and said He is a Muslim.Does that change anything.What if he accepts Islam after he is elected in office.Will God help him in this campaign if he picks one over the other or if he is honest.Is God telling us something by giving us Obama or does it not matter anymore what God is thinking!

Kareena–
Though Obama was born to a tacitly Muslim father, he says his dad was agnostic by the time he met his mother. So does that mean Obama was born Muslim? It’s a tricky question.

Actually Obama’s father was atheist by the time Barak was born. True his father was raised a Muslim.

Here’s what Obama told me in January re: his father:
My father, who I did not know—I spent a month of my life in his presence, otherwise he was a stranger to me—was raised in a household where his father had converted to Islam. But my father, for all practical purposes, was agnostic.

You forgot to ask Obama about his Muslim stepfather who helped raised him and took him to Jakara for radical Muslim education during Barrack’s formative years. If Barrack Hussein Obama is not Muslim, and converted to Christianity, why did he not change his name to a Christian name. Christians change their name to a Muslim name when they are reborn. If he is a born again Christian, what is his Christian name? Who is he? Barrack’s mother it is said is Athiest. Perhaps his father did not practice the Muslim Religion in her presence but that does not mean he was not a Muslim. Everyone experiences Agnostic phases in their religious faiths. Agnostic only means questioning one’s religeon.
