| | :::Regarding the IHS thing, and the whole bit about two missed funerals, all that really proves is that Obama, for all his talk, is definitely no Christian (certainly not a conservative Christian). It could mean he's an atheist or a muslim as it could go either way, so it's not definitive proof. We could note the bit about him wearing a muslim ring during his College years, though.

| | ::::Dear Pokeria1, you are assuming that these three things are a result of Obama's religious beliefs, rather than security concern dictated by the Secret Service or other non-religious factors. The fact that Obama has attended church many times and attended at least three funerals held in churches while President, really negates the argument. "Neither Pokeria1 nor JDano attended the Christian funeral of Nancy Reagan, therefore Pokeria1 and JDano must be Muslim," is a silly line of argument. Finally, there has never been a claim that Obama is a "conservative Christian". Most of his religious introduction to the faith was in the [[United Church of Christ]] which is more Congregationalist. He joined an "middle class" congregation which was less expressive and celebratory than some of the African-American denominations. As president, he then decided to join the Evergreen Chapel, where most of the regular attendees are enlisted naval seamen stationed at Camp David and the pastor is a Navy chaplain. The whole operation is the chaplain and a part-time music coordinator who plays the organ/piano for both the 10 a.m. Protestant service and the 8 a.m. Catholic mass held in the same building. I don't judge people by how they worship, and Conservapedia should not get into the business of arguing that some Christians are "more Christian" than others.
