'''Obama says he's a Christian. Some conservatives say he's a Muslim.'''
 
* I don't believe that Obama believes in biblical Christianity/classical orthodox Christianity.[http://nationalclergycouncil.org/010807BarackObama.htm]  I am opposed to "liberal Christianity" as I think the evidence points to it often being wrongheaded.[http://home.earthlink.net/~gbl111/liberalism.htm]  Conservapedia does not say Obama is a Muslim.  Conservapedia says Obama is likely a Muslim.  Regardless, I believe and for good reasons that Obama (see my comments on the Obama talk page) is extremely unlikely to be a Muslim.

* From what I've read, I believe that it's clear that Obama's Christianity is nominal or quite liberal, but not biblical.  But the evidence of him being a closet Muslim is very weak at best (and exceeded by evidence for being non-Muslim), and more realistically is simply wrong in some cases (e.g. Muslim pronunciation of Pakistan), logically invalid (swearing on the Koran), or irrelevant (that he didn't change his name).  The article has mostly said unequivocally that he ''is'' a Muslim, although this did get changed recently (but it's perhaps too soon to see if that sticks).  [[User:Philip J.

* As the story unfolds, I think it will be shown that Obama was born in Hawaii as it appears now that he was born in Hawaii. It is a moot point now (that I have not investigated deeply) because I don't see judges overturning an election and likely causing riots.
