The President and Faith by Bailey Hilliard


In this article, Eric Marrapodi writes about Barack Obama's campaign. In the video, Obama explains that his faith is very important in his decision-making process. "People of Faith for Obama" was revealed on Monday. This was meant to help push people into voting for Barack Obama. The president tells us that his Christian faith has guided him through his presidency and in his life. Obama also mentioned the issue of religious liberty. This article explains that religious liberty is a highly sensitive political issue after the administration was criticized by religious leaders over a mandate on insurance companies covering the cost of birth control methods in certain situations, and some people felt that this was a violation of their beliefs.

  2. Jlanderos95: President Obama has practiced Christianity his entire life.

    I see why religion is a persuasive factor in presidential elections, but I wish the candidates would push to separate church from state. Through history, the joining of the two has never proved to be of much benefit.
