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":
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.[132]

Because they think a person with an unusual name is weird.
They weren't around when Zbignew Brezinsky was the Defense secretary. They would have had something to say about that too.
And, because they don't have anything between their ears except space.

I couldn't care less if he worshiped red rocks. He does not have the necessary experience or and kind of a record to be President.

Because his name sounds middle eastern. Some people would rather make assumptions than learn facts.

Because he is Muslim. He is just trying to get votes. GO figure, we are fighting a war in a Muslim dominated region and we have a Muslim candidate for Presidency... they are trying to take over! Lord help us all!

Because he's a Muslim.
Maybe he's a good Samaritan by giving money away but he's not a Christian...Christianity is a religion not a character trait.
