I understand that certain people aren't taking issue with his religion, specifically. Some people are (no offense, Frank), but most of them are few and far between. However, this really is, at its core, a religious issue. It's an issue about the man's church. If this was an issue about a PTA group or a social club, I think the scrutiny would be completely warranted because I don't equate churches, which many people hold in very high esteem, to social clubs, which are often casual memberships that are much easier to leave than a church.
I think in this case, a distinction has to be made between a church and a social club, and its disingenuous to try and discount the religious aspects of the accusations against Obama. At their core, they are indictments of the man's church, pastor, and in some cases, religion.
