Although it is almost certain that various Presidents were non-practicing, deistic or even atheistic in private; all of them so far have come from Christian traditions. Even Obama's early Islamic influences stem from that Abrahamic tradition; as would a hypothetical Jewish president.

ive never really understood this assumption that Obama is an atheist. Maybe he is, maybe he isn't (it seems to stem from the slightly elitist assumption that smart people cannot be religious) but he carries himself in the Christian tradition. Even if he was an atheist, he wouldn't stop being a Christian somehow.

I don't think he's secretly an atheist either. Watch his Charleston funeral speech and spontaneous Amazing Grace.  That didn't look at all contrived.  But it's obvious he doesn't take very many things in the Bible literally.

Well that's basically what I'm saying. Even if he doesn't believe in God, he's obviously a Christian.

Wut?
There are some people out there that consider themselves "cultural Christians."

And/or they find wisdom in the teachings of Jesus regardless of whether he was ever part of the Godhead.

We already have a non-Christian president right now. Have you ever seen what is written on Obama's wedding ring? 'There is no God but Allah' in Arabic. That's just shameful that we elected him.

Just like George Bush's wedding ring says "Bush did 9/11."

It's on a golden ring, written in golden ink, so that only Allah can see it.

I thought writing on gold was a Mormon thing, not a Muslim thing.  So maybe Barry is secretly our first Mormon president?  Makes as much sense as what the OP wrote.

Reminds me of a 2012 liberal Mormon joke. Obama calls Romney and says "I think it's time for America to have a Mormon president." Romney says "Great!" Obama responds "My baptism is next Sunday."

All devout Christians worship Allah, anyway.

Muslims aren't even allowed to wear gold jewelry, right?

You're a moron, as pointed out by True Federalist. Besides, why would Secret-Evil-Islamic-Tyrant-Who-Is-Also-Weak-And-Effeminate-Somehow Obama be so obvious in giving clues to his "true faith"? He's not a serial killer, he isn't pathologically obsessed with leaving a clue.

EDIT: And at this point, I don't care if I get given death points or whatever for personal attacks. Conspiracy theories need to be called out for the crap they are.

They're in the process of being replaced by death brownies. All that remains to be decided is this?

Fair enough. Looking back at it after having had a bit of sleep, I think I was trying to express my frustration and contempt of those particular conspiracy theories, though I stand by what I said. Even if I get banned.
