Who says that Obama is being hostile towards religion? According to a new report he’s the exact opposite.
“President Obama, who rarely attends public church services, turns often to a wide range of Baptists, Mainline Protestants, Catholics, Muslims and Jews for prayer and spiritual and moral discussion, according to a new report
Obama prays on the phone with ministers from around the country, speaks often of the role of faith in public life, and quotes Christian theologians "to frame his policies in moral terms," says Daniel Burke, writing for Washington, D.C.- based Religion News Service.”
In relying on faith Obama isn’t a whole lot different from his predecessor. Which is unfortunate, it’d be nice to have an American President who doesn’t believe that superstitious rituals will improve his ability to govern. Of course, expecting that to change anytime soon is delusional.
