#1 The Illinois senator is a member of the United Church of Christ, a church of about 1.2 million members that is considered one the most liberal of the mainline Protestant groups.

So much so that they should just merge with the Unitarians and be done with it.

#2 Yes, but not in the way the media portrays it. Obama's Preacher And Clinton's Pollster
Obama remained mostly secular until his arrival in Chicago as a young community organizer and met Wright, "a dynamic pastor who preached Afrocentric theology, dabbled in radical politics and delivered music-and-profanity-spiked sermons."

However now that Obama's running for the White House, the Times says, Wright's "assertions of widespread white racism and his scorching remarks about American government" have forced the senator to distance himself from the man who presided over his wedding and baptized his two daughters.

In February, Obama canceled Wright's delivery of the invocation when he officially announced his presidential run. Wright himself acknowledges that some of his positions may be too radical for Obama to embrace.

"If Barack gets past the primary, he might have to publicly distance himself from me, Wright said. I said it to Barack personally, and he said yeah, that might have to happen."

#3 "Afrocentric theology" + OBAMA = JFK & Catholicism > Wel-l-l, in Obama's defense I don't see many African-Americans moving back to Africa = staying in Africa permanently. The Commies and Lefties loved the USSR-Commie Bloc as long as they didn't have to move or live there. In any case, WOT > among many other -isms and premises, is WAR FOR GLOBAL SECULARISM - Inter, Intra, Extra, Anti-, Ante, etc., INCLUDING KIND OF SECULARISM. Despite their rhetoric, IMO however grudgingly most Ultra/Radical Leftists have come to recognize the value and importance of God = faith in all things.
