    Default Does Obama go to church?

    As I was growing up, I would often times see on television our past presidents walking out of church with their families. I know Mr. Obama claims to be a christian but I was just wondering if he has ever been seen coming out of church. Is he affiliated with any church? I know he used to go to the a church that spewed a lot of hate (can't remember the pastor or the church at the moment). Unless I am missing it on t.v., I have never seen him at any church since he became president.
    I am not sure if this post belongs here, so mods please feel free to move this if need be.

    It's difficult for any President to go to church regularly, and it's disruptive to the church as well. However, previous Presidents all went more frequently than Obama does. I saw a report that he attended a Baptist church Easter 2011, but not Christmas even.

    Even if he is sincere in his beliefs, his theology is liberation theology, a blend of Marxism and humanistic Christianity. In this theology, Jesus was a revolutionary more like Che Guevara than a Savior and Christians are supposed to be revolutionaries too. Liberation Theology contains a lot of anti-colonialism as well, and looks upon America as bad.

    Although attending Church does not make a person a Christian.Anymore that a person sleeping in a garage makes him a car.I saw on line that Obama occasionally attends Church with his family.He attends different denominations.

    Thanks Reason & Hope for the information. I know it is difficult for a president to get to church and how dispruptive it would be on a church service. I just wasn't sure if he and his family ever attended church or the mainstream media just chose not to show him attending.

    Obama recently went to church with his family on August 19:

    Obama, Romney Take a Break, Attend Church

    ...

    President Obama, who was in New Hampshire campaigning on Saturday, was back in Washington, DC Sunday, where the periodic churchgoer and his family attended service at St. John’s Episcopal Church, a one block walk from the White House.

    ...

    The President has worshiped among several congregations in Washington, D.C. on the Sundays he attends church, visiting Baptist churches, African Methodist Episcopal churches, as well as the Washington National Cathedral, not to mention St. John’s Episcopal. He has also worshiped at Evergreen Chapel at Camp David.
