I'm happy that politicians in Britain don't have to fake a religious view to sway voters like Obama.

Do you have any sources to back that up?  I've always wondered if Obama was irreligious, especially with his mother being an athiest, but I've never come across anything to back that up.

I will give this as a source. It is a list of atheist politicians and if you notice a lot of them are British politicians, including...

  • Nick Clegg - Leader of the liberal democrats
  • Ken Livingstone - Mayor of London
  • David Miliband - Foreign secretary
  • Michael Portillo - Known for just about everything

As well as tonnes of others British politicians who are atheist or agnostic, but I don't have time to list them right now. I will find a better link at some point for you too.

As for Barack Obama the link I gave had his father listed as an atheist ex-muslim and I believe his mother was an atheist.
