→Summary of argument that Obama is a closet atheist/agnostic
American atheists donate less to charity [[per capita]] than religious people (see: [[Atheism and charity]]). Obama had a poor track record when it came to donating to charity before becoming a public figure (see: [[Barack Obama and uncharitableness]]).
