Faith

44% of Americans Can’t Name Obama’s Religion

Jun. 25, 2012 9:08am Billy Hallowell

Liberals often criticized President George W. Bush for being too overtly Christian and for allowing personal faith to infiltrate his policies. On the flip side, President Obama is often derided for his lackluster church attendance and an alleged failure to uphold Christian ideals. Considering Obama’s less overt discussion about his personal beliefs, it seems many Americans simply don’t know which religion he embraces. In fact, a new Gallup poll shows that more than four in 10 can’t name the president’s chosen faith.

Many Americans Cant Name Barack Obamas Religion

When asked, “Do you happen to know the religious faith of Barack Obama?,” 44 percent of respondents chose “No/Don’t know.” This is astounding, considering that the media have reiterated his beliefs countless times over the past four years.

Despite Obama’s own claims and the medias’ coverage of his religious preference, conservative critics would likely argue that actions speak louder than words. The president’s choice to embrace gay marriage, mandate birth control (even for religious employers), support abortion rights and champion other liberal ideals, they would argue, colors peoples’ perceptions and paints a confusing picture regarding his faith.

Many Americans Cant Name Barack Obamas Religion

In the end, there is an argument to be made that people expect the president to act in a way that corroborates his personal ideals. However, more progressive Christians could counter that the president is doing just that (also, they wouldn’t disagree with many of his stances). Rather than governing based on his personal convictions, he may be considering the overarching fact that a U.S. president represents all people and not only those with whom he agrees.

Still, the notion that 44 percent of the nation remains confused about his religion creates some fascinating questions. Below, see the breakdown:

Many Americans Cant Name Barack Obamas Religion

Despite profound confusion, 34 percent of Americans were able to correctly name Obama’s stated faith — Christianity. However, an additional 11 percent reported that he was Muslim, eight percent claimed that he has no religious affiliation at all and another two percent assumed that he is a Catholic (surprising considering his ongoing spat with the Catholic Church).

As always, the partisan breakdown on personal knowledge about Obama’s faith is interesting. Not surprisingly, Democrats are more able to accurately ascertain the president’s faith. Considering that they are more likely to be engaged with his views, this isn’t a bombshell factoid. However, some of the other differences between Republicans, Democrats and Independents are noteworthy. Gallup explains:

Democrats are more likely than Republicans to be able to name a religious faith for Obama, and are more likely to say Obama is a Christian. Just 3% of Democrats say Obama is a Muslim.

Republicans are less likely than Democrats to say what Obama’s faith is and are more likely to say Obama is a Muslim. It is unclear whether the 18% of Republicans who say Obama is a Muslim do so because they truly believe this is his religion, or because it is a politically charged idea.

Independents are generally more akin to Republicans than to Democrats in their views of Obama’s religion.

Many Americans Cant Name Barack Obamas Religion

This information follows a Public Policy Polling study from earlier this year that found that the majority of likely Republican voters in Mississippi believe Obama is a Muslim.

  Obama is not your average American. He was born of a Muslim father, ergo he is a Muslim by birth. Anybody who denies that doesn’t know a hoot about Islam, which is basically why Dims stupidly voted for him. Would any Dim deny that a man born of Jewish parents is a Jew? The Dim Party is replete with secular Jews who voted for Obama. Fool me once…
  
  There’s religion, and then there’s your personal belief system. Obama is an atheist by choice. Just ask Bill Maher. He can sniff out his own kind.

  I believe that he is a Muslim too and the things he has said and done in the past 3 1/2 years only reinforces my belief. Like the Muslims allied themselves with Hitler I believe Obama has also allied himself with other communist/socialist groups to destroy America.

  IF obama wins, I think in the next four years you will really findout is he’s a muslim, but definately now he is not a christian. And if he is not a christian, and if he is a muslim/ agnostic, the next four years will be bad for the christian, and I don’t see a point of return, it’s just getting worse folks! I’m sorry to tell you, that’s what the bible says…it’s going to get worse.

  He’s not Muslim. Once he uses the Muslims to help in the division of this country and is in the position to rebuild and remold it to the his heart’s desires, the Muslims will be the first to be rounded up. Next will be the Mexicans, but only because of their strong Catholic population.

  No, but a Muslim CAN be a Marxist. :)
  
  If it helps, it’s akin to being a Jew. Marx was an apostate Jew. Daniel Pearl was a secular Jew, yet he was beheaded for being one by jihadists. The big mistake America made and continues to make as a Christian nation is to equate Islam to (Protestant) Christianity. We need to start thinking like people in the ME and Africa, if we want to understand where that SOB is coming from.

  Not so, Kev. Russians were never able to conquer Afghanistan. If you are a Christian, the Book of Revelation clearly shows who’s going to be in control at the very end, and it won’t be the commies. A godless political regime does not stand a chance against a theocratic contender. Can communism top this:
  
  ” …the Messenger of Allah was asked: What is the value of Jihad for Allah? He said: You can not imagine it….Indeed, oh youth, death for Allah is our most exalted wish.”
  
  “O you who believe! What (excuse) have you that when it is said to you: Go forth in Allah’s way, you should incline heavily to earth; are you contented with this world’s life instead of the hereafter? But the provision of this world’s life compared with the hereafter is but little. If you don’t go [out to war], he will punish you ruthlessly, and will switch you with other people…” [Sura 9, 38] http://www.palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=157&doc_id=4603
  
  Remember, communism has no paradise of eternal carnal bliss, nor does it threaten a soul with eternal damnation. So Islamists are far more motivated to fight and conquer than commies ever will be. The State always will be a dreary slave owner.

  Who is a Christian that is a NWO/Communist Zionist? Anyone aligning themselves with NWO Zionism cannot be called a Christian..Jesus/Yeshua did not say that we should support murder and mayhelm for land and material acquisition.. By the way..do you think that because ones who support Zionism will be standing for Israel and will thereby make it into heaven? That would be an entirely different Jesus than the one who died on the cross for our sins.. NWO/Zionism where all the wealth has been and is being transferred to the richest families in the world would be called Satanism.. It is sad that so many are so easily led by Satan..

She used no telleprompter or notes and was right to her point. She didn’t bable or slurr-words and thoughts as we see her normally in the House-of-Reps., or in the MSM-?news? .

  but he is big into black liberation theology which is the twisted christian doctrine akin to what the nation of islam is to islam itself. I am with you actions speak louder than words or as the bible pute it, by their fruit ye shall know them. in the presidents case, I do believe he is a commie racist who follows the flawed doctrine of black liberation theology where everything comes down to skin color and communism.

Is narcissism a religion?

Perhaps because 0bama lies so much no one believes what the Christianity he claims. He is surely not known by his fruit. He’s either a Muslim, a believe in Black Liberation Theology or an atheist.

  It is mind-numbing how little is known about this guy and how much is hidden about him, MOM. I should correct my statement above to say that 0bama IS known by his fruits which is why so many do not believe his claims of Christianity. Have you seen this interview from 2004 0bama did with the religion reporter for the Chicago Sun Times?

  The way I see it, not all atheists are pathological narcissists, but all narcissists are atheists. :) We have figured out quite a lot about his background and beliefs. It’s just that people are confused because in America we have discrete categories for religion, and Barack doesn’t fit that mold.
