Obama's former pastor, Jeremiah Wright, wrote in his book that Obama had struggles with Christianity after having been raised to be Muslim in his youth. And Obama himself has made more than a few comments over the years that at the very least show that he has a fondness for Islam that he has never expressed for Christianity.
My bet is that Obama is a closet atheist.
I personally just see him as spiritually conflicted. His upbringing had him straddling two different worlds. One being the Islamic world of his father and the other being the more secular-left world of his mother and her parents.
Honestly, you look at this guy and you have to wonder what he was looking for when he was going to Jeremiah Wright's church for twenty years? Either he had a real spiritual need that he was looking to address or else, perhaps, his membership in the church gave him access to political circles that he needed for his career.
I mean no offense to him in this, but when you contrast Obama with Clinton or Carter you just don't see anything 'Christian' about the man.
