Could Barack Obama be an Atheist?

Because if you're 'only half-black' you're not black, right?

It's more the case that you're just considered to be black unless there isn't a hint of any kind of colour in you at all. It's the one drop rule. So Barrack Obama is Christian in that sense rather than the full blood of lamb sense. God doesn't speak to him and tell him to invade other countries either. He's a rationalist with some politically appropriate belief which will be genuine to some degree.
