The 'Wrong' Kind of Christian?

While I sat in my room, contemplating the topic of my post for this week, an epiphany came to me in the form of Barack Obama.  According to an article that I had found on the interweb, some see Obama as the ‘wrong’ kind of Christian.  What does this even mean?  To summarize, the religious conservatives do not find Obama to be a true Christian (which is understandable considering that most conservatives are unable to understand any beliefs aside from their own).  Obama is a man of faith, and referred to his strong belief in God many times over.  He reads his Bible, just not literally, which is what the majority of the conservatives are doing.

Obama is a President that recognizes, and tolerates (emphasis on the word “tolerates”) other religious denominations that exist in the United States.  It is unfortunate that many people (specifically the conservatives), are still unable to recognize that there must be a separation between Church and state.  If Church was related to state, then the Magisterium mind as well take over the entire country.
At least Obama recognizes that not everyone in the U.S. is Christian, or even believes in God for that matter.
