He and Michelle have attended services at several churches since moving to DC.

However, he announced in June of last year that he would--as did his predecessor--make his primary place of worship Evergreen Chapel, the nondenominational church at Camp David. 

From a Time article:

A number of factors drove the decision — financial, political, personal — but chief among them was the desire to worship without being on display. Obama was reportedly taken aback by the circus stirred up by his visit to 19th Street Baptist in January. Lines started forming three hours before the morning service, and many longtime members were literally left out in the cold as the church filled with outsiders eager to see the new President. Even at St. John's, which is so accustomed to presidential visitors that it is known as the "Church of the Presidents," worshippers couldn't help themselves from snapping photos of Obama on their camera phones as they walked down the aisle past him to take communion.

It is wise for him to not be coerced or forced into the religions or churches that are in the immediate area. Something as personal as faith is left to the individual.

Maybe but i feel like its a good move. Theres a reason we have a separation of Church and State and in not joining one is a good move id say.

None of your business. People are entitled to a right to privacy where religion is concerned.

Personally, I hope he's secretly an atheist. He's far too intelligent for that sort of nonsense.
But of course, admitting you're an atheist in America is political suicide.
