There is no religious test for office in the United States. In fact, '''''the [[U.S. Constitution]] prohibits such a test'''''. So why do the majority of Americans refuse to recognize the likelihood that the American President is Muslim?
Here's one reason: many liberals are would be uncomfortable with supporting a man who privately accepts Muslim social values that liberals oppose, such as views against abortion, feminism, and homosexuality.
:I agree that religion is not a qualifying test for holding the Presidency. I do have an issue with people making false statements (or, at best, statements with a reckless disregard for the truth) about Obama's religion, when there are significant shortcomings in Obama's policy preferences that we Republicans can focus on. But that's just my opinion. Personally, I believe that Obama is a Christian, just as he says he is. [[User:GregG|GregG]] 20:35, 3 January 2013 (EST)
::"Just as he says he is" - politicians make many false statements. Some would argue that they '''''should''''' make false statements when it is for the good of the country, or their political party, or whatever.

:::I, for one, would certainly trust someone's statement as to what their faith is. [[User:GregG|GregG]] 20:44, 3 January 2013 (EST)
