When I think back to the period of the 2008 presidential election, it seems that religion immediately pops into my head. In my opinion it seems that the United States has this certain obsession with religion, even though there is suppose to be a separation of church and state. I can still remember our current president- Barrack Obama being constantly accused of being a Muslim. Many articles were written about his religion, articles such as this (click me), titled "CNN debunks false report about Obama". I can still remember rumors being started about Obama just because he supposedly was a Muslim. I can not help but think so what if he is Muslim? Does it really matter what religion someone is? Why does this affect our society so much? Over time I hope that this changed and that people focus on what is really important in selecting a presidential candidate- politics.
