Why do people believe this crazy made-up stuff? Because via the internet, they are readily fed support for their delusions (they used to have to buy pamphlets and books and it was harder for the crazies to find each other)

For example: Wikipedia:

Barack Obama religion conspiracy theories


Barack Obama religion conspiracy theories—allegations that he secretly follows a non-Christian religion, or that he is the antichrist—have been suggested ever since Barack Obama began his campaign to become President of the United States in 2007. As with the Barack Obama citizenship conspiracy theories, these false claims are promoted by various fringe theorists and political opponents.[1][2]
But if you go to Conservapedia (facts the way we like 'em) you can read a xenophobes dream:

Quote:
Barack Hussein Obama is possibly the first Muslim president of the United States, as illustrated by his many actions and comments both before and after taking the official (private) oath of office without using a Bible. While there is a strong political incentive for Obama to claim to be a Christian, as he has done whenever discussing his religion, all credible evidence, other than the fact that he attends a Christian church, points to Islam as his religion:
Well, other than the fact he has never, ever given any demonstration that he is Muslim. You know, all those Rev. Wright years he gets attacked for, too? Which is it? Muslim or radical Black Church Guy?

And the fact he put his hand on a bible for the oath of office.

You see, for normal people, "Muslim" is just another religion like "Catholic" or "Evangelical Christian" or "Jewish" or "Protestant". Perfectly legal and welcomed in the US, and hardly disqualifying for anything at all under our Constitution. Yes, we have Muslims in Congress, and a Muslim could certainly be President, or on the Supreme Court. Constitution, remember? Freedom of religion here?

For non-normal xenophobic haters, being Muslim is like being the devil. So other than the guy going to a Christian church for decades, saying he was born-again, attending a catholic school as a kid, getting married in a Christian church, raising his kids Christian, getting sworn in on a bible - well, it all clearly points, other than all those pesky facts, to his being ... gasp! ... Muslim!

Qur'an:8:39 "So fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief [non-Muslims]) and all submit to the religion of Allah alone (in the whole world)."
The woods would be a whole lot scarier.

And don't blame me, blame the guy who wrote the book!
