I have heard rumors that he is a satanist, but others have said that he is a member of the Church of Christ. If you believe he is a satanist or part of some other pagan religion, please site your sourse.

From what I've read. Obama's father was muslem.
Sen. Obama, however is a member of the "United Church of Christ" according to several web-sites from that church. (Do a quick web search for Obama church of christ.) (It may be helpful to put "church of christ" in quotes.)
Please note the "United Church of Christ" is NOT the same as those who simply meet under the name "Church of Christ". Many of the things taught are drastically different.

Senator Obama did not grow up in a religious household. His mother's parents were Baptist and Methodist, but they weren't especially religious when they became adults, so his mother grew up a skeptic. Obama's father wasn't around for most of the senator's childhood; reared as a Muslim, he became a confirmed atheist as an adult.
Obama writes that his religious convictions formed during his twenties, when, as a community organizer working with local churches, he came to understand "the power of the African American religious tradition to spur social change" He wrote: "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."

I have heard it many times that he is a member of Church of Christ, but he has spent some of his childhood in Indoneshia, a muslim country, where he went to school with other christian children as well as muslim kids. However, I believe he is most likely a Christian.

His bio says that he is a member of the Church of Christ. That is definitely not pagan or satanic. That is a christian dnomination.

Church of Christ is not a denomination. That's what members of their Church say.
I don't know what religion he is, I'm not voting for him.
