True

It is true that whatever religion is practiced as a child does not define a person. Still the religion (whatever it is) we practice as children is absorbed without being filtered first.... honestly it is ridiculous to say that two Muslim fathers and an atheist mother had no effect on the self proclaimed "Christian" Obama. The Islam religion did undoubtedly have some kind of impact on Obama. However, we do need to move past this argument and decide whether or not a candidates religious background and values are important.
