This article discusses the possibility that Obama may be a closeted atheist.  It quotes a speech Obama made in 2006:

> Which passages of Scripture should guide our public policy?
> > Should we go with Leviticus, which suggests slavery is okay, and
> that eating shellfish is an abomination?
> > Or we could go with Deuteronomy, which suggests stoning your child
> if he strays from the faith.
> > Or should we just stick with the Sermon on the Mount, a passage that
> is so radical that it is doubtful that our own Defense Department
> would survive its application?

It also gives a primer on how skeptical Abraham Lincoln and many of the Founding Fathers were:

> Abraham Lincoln, who never joined a church and was notoriously
> ambiguous and secretive about his religious beliefs, famously said,
> “The Bible is not my book nor Christianity my profession.” In his
> later years, despite denouncing those who were “enemies of” or
> “scoffed at” religion, he reiterated, “My earlier views of the
> unsoundness of the Christian scheme of salvation and the human
> origin of the scriptures, have become clearer and stronger with
> advancing years and I see no reason for thinking I shall ever change
> them.”
> > And Lincoln wasn’t alone, either. In fact, the United States was
> created by a very skeptical group of Founding Fathers.
> > The Treaty of Tripoli, ratified by the Senate and signed by
> President John Adams in 1797, stated clearly in Article 11 that the
> US government is “not, in any sense, founded on the Christian
> religion.”
> > Thomas Jefferson, who famously wrote to Joseph Priestley in 1801
> that Christianity was “the most perverted system that has ever shone
> on man,” constructed his own version of the Bible, the Jefferson
> Bible, by snipping out the supernatural aspects of Christianity like
> angels and the Trinity, and including only the aspects relating to
> the life and morality of Jesus Christ.
> > Benjamin Franklin, also famously suspicious of organized religion,
> penned a dissertation detailing his criticism of Christian
> principles, and openly questioned the divinity of Jesus Christ.
> > ...The words “under God” weren’t added to the Pledge of Allegiance
> until 1954, and America’s current “In God We Trust” motto didn’t
> appear on coins until 1864, although it only became the official US
> motto in 1956, when the country was undergoing a religious revival
> buoyed by the likes of then Secretary of State John Foster Dulles’
> belief that opposition to communism was justified not because of the
> Soviet Union’s totalitarian regime, but because of it being run by
> atheists.
