Do you believe Obama has held true to his confessed religion?

In what ways?

Update:

I suppose 2 intelligent answers to a genuine question can't be too bad...

    Obama's confessed religion is Christianity and I'm sure that he does exactly what most self proclaimed Christians do about it: absolutely nothing.

    Well, first of all, anyone applying religion to politics would do well to remember Romans 13, verses 1 and 2:

    1 Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.

    2 Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.

    But anyway, Obama professes to be a Christian, and he has implemented health care reform to attempt to address certain shortcomings in our health care system. That reminds me of a verse from the New Testament:

    Matthew 25:36 -- "...I was sick and you looked after me...'

    Anyone familiar at all with Acts chapters 2 and 4 should have no problem with Obama's actions:

    "All that believed were together, and had all things in common; And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need."

    (Acts 2:44-45)

    I believe he's kept his religious beliefs out of his Presidential decisions, like any sane or reasonable person who believes in democracy and the Constitution would.

    Much more than George Bush.

    Here we go again...he's a Muslim, he's a socialist, blah, blah, blah... Don't you think if he had this big master plan to ruin America he would have done it long ago? Stop watching FOX news.

    Only sillies want to pretend that obama was not born in the U.S. or is not a "real" christian. Grow up.

    I don't give a damn what his religion is. I care more about what he's done for this country, which is way more than his predecessor did.

    Frankly I think that's his business. Personally I don't care.
