Marco Rubio is so desperate to be seen as a religious right savior that he spread himself out, claiming formally to be Catholic but attending a Bible-thumping holy roller church that believes in young earth creationism and demons. He’s also done his time as a Mormon, to cover all bases.


I have yet to see Republicans crucify him for this the way they did Obama for his diverse faith:

Barack Obama's Religious Beliefs & Background: What Does Barack Obama Believe?

Barack Obama's religious background is more diverse than that of most prominent politicians, but it may prove to be representative of future generations of Americans who grow up in an increasingly diverse America. His mother was raised by non-practicing Christians; his father was raised a Muslim but was an atheist by the time he had married Obama's mother. Obama's step-father was also Muslim, but of an eclectic kind who could make room for animist and Hindu beliefs. Neither Obama nor his mother were ever atheists, but she raised him in a relatively secular household where he learned about religion.


Unfortunately Obama had to cave and hump Jesus for America to get christians to support him.

It's disgusting that Democrats have to pander to the religious in order to get elected.
