That you were a Christian despite coming to that faith in a church lead by a racist pastor who professes beliefs not contained in either the Old nor New Testament. I took you at your word. There were some encouraging signs like your choice of America's pastor Rick Warren to lead the prayer at your Inauguration. Unfortunately it has been downhill from there.
First you pursue a radical abortion agenda which started with your public funding of embryonic stem cell research and continued with your support for the Freedom of Choice Act
http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/593014.aspx . Under the Orwellian named FOCA, Doctors and Nurses have the freedom to lose their jobs if they refuse to perform abortions. Previously these people were not coerced into violating their faith by performing abortions. Not any more.
Then you went to Georgetown and had the Christian symbols covered while you spoke

Then you go to Turkey and go out of your way to point out that America is not a Christian nation
http://www.lompocrecord.com/articles/2009/04/24/opinion/042409c.txt) and owes much to Islam is the shaping of it
http://www.tribune-georgian.com/articles/2009/04/24/opinion/letters/01letter4.24.txt . While there are many wonderful Americans who happen to be Muslim, there is really no historical evidence for Islam shaping the nation.
Finally today I heard that you will not be attending the National Day of Prayer breakfast
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/may/06/prayer-day-no-show/ which has been a tradition for many years. True, Bill Clinton opted out but I suspect that was due to his fear of lightening strike for showing up.
America is not a Christian nation in the sense that it has a state religion and we do have separation of church and state. But the nation is a Judeo Christian nation meaning it was founded by Christians primarily with a deep understanding and appreciation for the Old Testament.
If Mr. President you were an athiest or a Muslim, you should have campaigned as such. My problem is not as much with you but with people who claim to be Christians but reject much if not all the tenants of the faith. I think Mr. President you are one of them.
