Ben Witherington: The Faith of Barack Obama

What bothers me about the persistence of this sort of discussion is that it involves fear-mongering and all sorts of emotive rhetoric without any sound basis in facts.  If a person does not like the President’s politics, that is one thing.  The attempt to link his political views to his religious views is a two edged sword.  There are plenty, indeed I would say millions of devout Christians in American who mostly share Obama’s political views.  Does this make them somehow, not Christian?   Surely not.

A very good piece, in my opinion. Read it all.
