Barrack Obama is muslim! John McCain is Christian! I've seen it all over the news. We're supposed to be a religiously free country, right? (lets imagine we're idealists for a second) I don't agree with how the news advertises the candidates faiths as a way of attracting voters. "Oh, he believes in Jesus, that has a lot to do with fixing global warming, right? You got my vote!"
Personally, I really don't think the news should advertise the faiths of the candidates. This just makes many people make a religiously biased decision without much thought. And as a message to everyone, Jesus doesn't run our country, the government does. Vote wisely.
edited it to John McCain. I was sleepy when I typed this, sorry.

Some people in the liberal blogosphere would say this refers to this man:

Meh. Religion is important to a lot of people. If they wanna pester candidates about it, fine. Even I care about it more than I care about, say, their tax returns. But as long as they're clear on the issues and have a voting/activism record to back it up, I don't care much what religion they are. Everybody's got their delusions.

Barack isn't a muslim. For people to say that only shows how ignorant they are. I actually believe he's a closet Atheist because he shows no religious care in his speeches or campaigning. Of course he's going to bring it up now and then and say he's of Christ so he can get the vote, but he doesn't seem like he cares about it all that much.
Secondly, if Barack Obama is Muslim, then he is the most non-muslim muslim I've ever seen in my entire life. Even moderate Muslims don't act as cool as Barack does.
