Steve: Do you have any quotes of him criticizing religion. I've been concerned about him talking about his faith. I thought this line was funny. Peter Sagal on Wait, Wait on NPR said of Obama: "critics say that his campaign is turning into a kind of cult, with his rallies seeming more like religious meetings. supporters say that's ridiculous because religious revival meetings usually don't feature speeches by jesus himself."
