Barack Obama, who was “the most liberal Senator in America” according to his Republican foes, a man accused of being a secret Muslim, a man whose parents were apostates from their respective religious upbringings, is now the 44th president of the United States. Yet Obama openly talks about his Christianity, supports faith-based initiatives, and invites Rick “How Do Atheists Explain Music?” Warren to deliver the invocation at his inauguration. Secularists (who overwhelmingly supported Obama) are somewhat disappointed with him in this regard, while conservative Christians suspect strategic mendacity, despite Obama’s calls for unity. Has there ever been a more confusing time with respect to religion in the public square?
