Just what is the relevance of the religious background of anyone running for office - America used to be a secular nation, there is still however no religious test required for office - except that of public opinion - I don't blame Obama for trying to hide any Muslim background, with the saturated 'christian nation' bs that the' religious crazies like to spout at every opportunity.
