Basically, it's saying that religion is a crutch for the weak or the stupid.
It's a pretty odd thing for a Christian to say.
It is an encouraging sign that Obama may not be one of the horrible christians that infest our polity.
That would be just awful! I mean, they believe in kindness and they believe in redemption, that has to be the worst religion on the face of the earth!
Sorry to pick on you, but is there any religion out there that doesn't believe in kindness?
As for the topic at hand, I think his comments show he leans towards agnosticism/atheism or he isn't a very devout Christian. I hope this means he stays away from fundamentalism. It is a very dangerous quality in people with power. Just witness Bush's presidency, and the Iraq fiasco specifically.
