What is Barack Obama's faith?

Question

i heard he is a christian and i heard he is a muslim which one?
And where is he from?

Answer 1

Unlike Bush, Obama is a Christian.

Answer 2

He was baptized and married at the United Church of Christ, so he is a Christian.
He attended Catholic and Muslim schools for a few years when he was young, but mostly because they were the best schools available in that area.
He was born in Hawaii, so he is an American citizen. His mother is from the Midwest and his father born in Africa.

Answer 3

Does all this rhetoric matter. We can all try to persuade the people about what religion, where from, how old, whatever.

The question is can the man rally the people and lead the country? That is the question you should be asking.

As for his religion, some say catholic, others say muslim and I just read a few questions ago that he was protestant, so go figure.

Answer 4

His maw was an Atheist and ole man a Muslim. The Muslim left her, she married another Muslim and he carried them to Indonesia. Barrack was raised and educated as a Muslim. Upon entering the U.S and deciding to go into politics, he found it expedient to become a Christian and joined the Church of Christ. He is from his mother and father.

Answer 5

He is Christian - came to it as an adult, the child of an avowed atheist and an agnostic. He was born in Hawaii. His father was from Kenya ("black as pitch") his mother from Kansas ("white as milk"). Here's what he says about his religion (from Wikipedia):

"I was drawn to the power of the African American religious tradition to spur social change. [...] In the history of these struggles, I was able to see faith as more than just a comfort to the weary or a hedge against death; rather, it was an active, palpable agent in the world. [...] It was because of these newfound understandings–that religious commitment did not require me to suspend critical thinking, disengage from the battle for economic and social justice, or otherwise retreat from the world that I knew and loved–that I was finally able to walk down the aisle of Trinity United Church of Christ one day and be baptized. It came about as a choice and not an epiphany; the questions I had did not magically disappear. But kneeling beneath that cross on the South Side of Chicago, I felt God's spirit beckoning me. I submitted myself to His will, and dedicated myself to discovering His truth."

Answer 6

He attends a Christian Church in Chicago. I forget the name but type in search and look on his web site and it will tell you. I also researched the church and they are doing so much for African Americans in US and Africa in general. I was impressed and plan on voting for him. I believe that he may not of been corrupted yet and that he could do a lot for African Americans and I as a Christian white woman am all for that. I believe that the sins of the father are visited on the subsequent generations and that if we are to overcome racial tensions in this country we the whites need to atone for our ancestral sins. Martin Luther King Jr had and dream and it is mine as well as it is my Lord's too.

Answer 7

well right now he's from Hyde Park in Chicago
he has been seen attending an African themed Protestant church

Christian. His father, that left him when he was born, may or may not have been a Muslim. It is all propaganda from people that hate him for his political views when anyone says he is a Muslim.

Answer 9

Presbelutherism.

Answer 10

He is Christian.
