I got an email warning me about Barack Obama’s Muslim father, atheist mother, Muslim step-father, & Muslim schooling. I think it has had the opposite effect from what was intended.

I think having attended both Muslim & Catholic schools is a positive thing for a politician or a president. A well-rounded understanding of atheism, Christianity, & Islam should be an absolute requirement for any elected Federal official.

On the other hand, an elected Federal official’s declared religious affiliation or how dedicated or convenient it might be (as if anyone can truly judge another’s relationship with God) means little to me. If it did, I would (as a United Methodist myself) care a lot more about President Bush’s claim to be a United Methodist when he has acted in flagarant opposition to the United Methodist Social Principles.
