Religion in Kenya
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The predominant religion in Kenya is Christianity, adhered to by about four-fifths of the population. Other faiths practiced in Kenya are Baha'i, Hinduism, Islam, and traditional African religions."

So, Who asked Obama Sr. what his religion might be? Are there forms to be signed when he came to the usa to attend collage? The dates on these forms?

I know this topic has been tossed around here but I must have missed the whole "but He must be catholic because......

Again from Wikipedia:

"Christianity was first brought to Kenya in the fifteenth century by the Portuguese and spread rapidly during the nineteenth century, when it experienced a revival. Today, the main Christian denominations in Kenya are Protestant confessions, which make up 45% of the country's religious composition.<1> They include the Anglican Church of Kenya, and the Presbyterian, Reformed, Baptist, Lutheran and Pentecostal churches. The Roman Catholic Church represents 33% of the population."

2. obama's father may have been

born to a muslim family but he was an atheist and so was obama's mother.

5. i'm almost sure that obama was an atheist too.

he became a christian when he was working as a community organizer. the churches were helping too. it's possible that he became a christian because he knew he was going into politics or he really did accept jesus. in this country, an atheist can not get elected.

6. Christianity in Kenya.

""Christianity was first brought to Kenya in the fifteenth century by the Portuguese and spread rapidly
during the nineteenth century, when it experienced a revival...."

I never knew this, and I certainly don't expect the Neocons to know it either.
At least I don't go around lying about someone belonging to a religion
different from the one of which he is a member -- and just for political reasons.

7. Here is an explanation by Obama himself:

I read on another page that his African grandfather was Muslim but his father was an agnostic. Here is that source: http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/o/obama.htm

I don't know why we are still talking about this, though.
