As an atheistic liberal the fact that he wrote that doesn't annoy me at all. He has full rights to be religious in his private life and to believe what he wants - as long as it does not cross into his political policies.

Whats so wrong with that?  Deeply religious people are almost always guided in their daily lives by their religious beliefs.  Why shouldn't Obama draw strength and guidance from those beliefs?

Because religion often leads to irrational and damaging acts - for example illegalizing stem cell research, prostitution and gay marriage.

@MrBubbles. Teehee.

Why are those irrational and damaging acts,

and why is religion the only possible motivational force behind the illegalization of said topics?
