Barack Obama's Religious Schooling

Just like people who still lie about a connection between 9/11 and Iraq, people are out there lying about Barack Obama's religious background. Some people claim Obama is Muslim and was taught at a radical Muslim school even though he is Christian and the school these people mention does not crux itself on religion. Fortunately there are people such as Kate Phillips who debunk these lies about Obama's Religious Schooling.

In addition, there are more fools who mix up Obama with Representative Keith Ellison of Minnesota, the first elected Muslim, who used the Koran (specifically one owned by Thomas Jefferson) at his public swearing in.

The lie that Obama attended a radical Muslim school was created by Steve Doocy and the Fox News staff and the claim is fueled by bad politics, crypto-racism, and ignorance. Obama is "a committed Christian who attends the United Church of Christ in Chicago".
