Hate to break the bubble but Obama gave these statements in another interview. Of course this wasn't at a Muslim breakfast.
NEWSWEEK:
Do you and Michelle talk to your girls about having a God? Jesus?
Obama: Well, we do, but we don't have a systematic course of study for the girls. We say grace at the table. They are inquiring minds, so whenever they have a question about God or faith, then I have a conversation with them
I'm a big believer in a faith that is not imposed but taps into what's already there, their curiosity or their spirit.
You used to travel with your Bible. Do you still do that?
Sometimes, because my briefcase gets so packed, I forget to pack it, but I often have my Bible with me. It's something that I read in the evenings and it takes me out of the immediacy of my day and gives me a point of reflection.
What do you think about the Kingdom of God? Is it attainable on Earth by humans?
I am a big believer in not just words, but deeds and works. I don't believe that the Kingdom of God is achievable on Earth without God's intervention, and without God's return through Jesus Christ, but I do believe in improvement
Do you pray in your personal life?
Yes, I do.
Daily?
Yeah, every day.

I'd argue that's more religious than 90% of Americans
