	In Good Faith - The real meaning of Barack Obama's speech on religion and politics. By Amy Sullivan
		The senator was raised in a primarily secular home: His father was born a Muslim but became an atheist as an adult; his mother was "spiritual" but a skeptic of organized religion; his grandparents were nonpracticing Protestants.
		The speech worked partly because the senator speaks with easy-going confidence about his faith, weaving spiritual phrases into his speech without needing to announce them to his audience as so many of his colleagues do ("This debate about tax cuts reminds me of that verse from the Book of Hebrews …").
		Brendan I. Koerner recalls the fl senators that came before Obama while David Plotz wonders why Protestants have a near monopoly on presidency.
