Muslim until at least the age of 10? And that he lied about it.
Islam an unknown factor in Obama bid
Campaign downplays his connection during boyhood in Indonesia

...His former Roman Catholic and Muslim teachers, along with two
people who were identified by Obama's grade-school teacher as
childhood friends, say Obama was registered by his family as a Muslim
at both of the schools he attended.
That registration meant that during the third and fourth grades,
Obama learned about Islam for two hours each week in religion class.
The childhood friends say Obama sometimes went to Friday prayers at
the local mosque. "We prayed but not really seriously, just following
actions done by older people in the mosque. But as kids, we loved to
meet our friends and went to the mosque together and played," said
Zulfin Adi, who describes himself as among Obama's closest childhood
friends....
Neighborhood Muslims worshiped in a nearby house, which has since
been replaced by a larger mosque. Sometimes, when the muezzin sounded
the call to prayer, Lolo and Barry would walk to the makeshift mosque
together, Adi said.
"His mother often went to the church, but Barry was Muslim. He went
to the mosque," Adi said. "I remember him wearing a sarong."...
"At that time, Barry was also praying in a Catholic way, but Barry
was Muslim," Dharmawan said in Obama's old classroom, where she still
teaches 39 years later. "He was registered as a Muslim because his
father, Lolo Soetoro, was Muslim."...
Bugs have eaten Obama's file in the school's archive, said Vice
Principal Hardi Priyono. But two of his teachers, former Vice
Principal Tine Hahiyari and third-grade teacher Effendi, said they
remember clearly that at this school, too, he was registered as a
Muslim, which determined what class he attended during weekly
religion lessons.
"Muslim students were taught by a Muslim teacher, and Christian
students were taught by a Christian teacher," said Effendi, who, like
many Indonesians, uses only one name...
