The odds of Obama being truthful in his claim that he converted to Christianity are less than 100 to 1 against it, as fewer than 1% of Muslims convert to Christianity.<ref>http://www.faithfreedom.org/oped/sina31103.htm</ref>

Obama claimed to have visited 57 states while campaigning for president of the United States, which of course has only 50 states.<ref>  [http://www.mediaresearch.org/BozellColumns/newscolumn/2008/col20080528.asp Barack Potatoe Obama?]</ref>  He could never explain where the false number of 57 came from, but it has been observed that there are 57 [[Islamic]] states and Obama was educated at an [[Islamic]] grade school while he lived in an [[Islamic]] country.<ref>http://www.stoptheaclu.com/archives/2008/05/12/obamas-freudian-slip-there-are-57-islamic-states/</ref>However, it has been suggested repeatedly that this is a reference to Heinz' "57 varieties" of ketchup or that this is a simple misstatement (Obama had, at the time, visited 47 states), as there were not 57 Islamic states when Obama was in school.<ref>The Organisation of the Islamic Conference, which has 57 member states, is where the "57 Islamic states" argument comes from. The OIC did not exist until 1971, the last year of Obama's Indonesian schooling, and at the time it contained only 30 members. There is no reason to think Obama would have learned about 57 Islamic states in school.</ref>
    
Obama downplays his [[Islamic]] background by claiming that his [[Kenya|Kenyan]] [[Muslim]] father was a "confirmed [[atheist]]" before Obama was born, but in fact less than 1% of Kenyans are atheists, agnostics or non-religious.<ref>http://www.adherents.com/Na/Na_14.html</ref>  There is apparently no evidence of any Christian activities or local church participation by Obama while he was in Massachusetts from 1988 to 1991.  Finally, Obama abruptly left his church in Chicago in 2008 when it became politically controversial, without first finding another church to join.
