You know how nearly 1/3 of the people in the US believe Obama is a secret Muslim? Don't we think it's more likely that he's a secret atheist?
It's interesting this conspiracy theory never gets explored. Especially considering people are more likely to vote for an Muslim than an atheist. I think it's a lack of the fear factor, atheists aren't as threatening to Christians as Muslims.

Obama hasn't done a god damned thing to make it harder for people to practice their religion. Just because Obama has different beliefs than Huckabee, that doesn't mean he's faking. There are literally hundreds of Christian denominations, some are more different than each other than Christianity and Islam.
As for how he greets the Pope ... my parents are Christians. They're non-denominational Christians, and they're straight up the best people I've ever met. But they're not Catholic. They don't recognize the Pope's authority. In their eyes, someone that elevates themselves to infallibility is blasphemous.

I suspect the same people convinced he's a closeted muslim find the notion of not being religious inconceivable.

My impression is that here in the catholic part of Europe, the pope is considered more of a charismatic figure than an authority. This has a lot to do with how people live their religion. Even people who are very religious are very selective about what they accept not only from the pope but from the whole clergy. Religion is also part of the political discourse here but nowhere near US levels.

I don't get this:

Between 2009 and 2013, President Barack Obama achieved the improbable: he successfully eliminated the $1.4 trillion deficit legacy of the Bush administration, lowering it to $679 billion. That’s right: he cleaned up the mess cowboy George left behind, and things are looking up for America.

Yeah, that's pretty confusing/inaccurate. From what I've seen, the yearly budget he'll set for the next president's first year could see no deficit by the end of it.
