Obama's Religious Background, Does It Matter? Options

[fameONE]

For those of you that have been following, yet another, God-awful US election, you're well aware of the recent specualtions about Barack Obama being a Muslim. Does it really matter? What difference would it make if the man was a Scientologist?

Discuss.

EDIT: Can someone please correct the spelling in the title?

I think his religion is the least of his problems. There still are people are only see his skin color and not his credentials.

Barack (even though I'm not following the campaign much) seems like a very fresh new face that can definitely make good changes to America. How or if he succeeds is another question. He's a good candidate but...

Is America really ready for a minority president? Ideally, it should be about the capabilities of the president but many can't look past that he's Black or that he might be Muslim. Which is why people like George Bush keep getting elected.

I didn't contribute much. I'll get back once I refresh myself on the campaign.
