I’m not sure Obama has any really deep affiliation with any religion. He claims not to have gone much to Jeremiah Wright’s church, though he was a member. People didn’t believe him when he said he didn’t hear much of what Wright ever said, but he might have been telling it just the way it was.
What is pretty certain is that he does not view, or want to view, the U.S. as a Christian nation. He said it isn’t, and also said America is a “Muslim nation”. I don’t think he meant the latter to mean “exclusively”, and think he meant to be sort of shockingly inclusive. But the two statements together do pretty well establish an extremely secular view.
Notwithstanding D’Souza’s sin and the condemnation that attends it, I do think he had a good point in saying Obama is not so much anything as he is “anti-colonial”. His favoring Islamic states and movements can be thought of as favoring Islam over other religions, but it can also be though of as more “anti-western” on the part of a person who learned to associate the west with an inherent colonialist culture despite the collapse of western colonialism.
Personally, I don’t consider Obama an islamist, but I do think of him as sort of romantically anti-colonialist, and to a serious fault.
yes, yes, I know. Trump seems to evidence indifferent church attendance as well.
