1) got a link to a reputable site with that info you posted?You're wrong. Obama slipped up and said he was a Muslim one time.
Obama was also listed as a follower of Islam at his gradeschool. Obama's name was Barry Soetero when he was a child.

2) When he was a kid in Indonesia, students were required to list religion, so his form would have listen the religion of his step-dad even though the step-dad was not a practicing Muslim. A kid has no say , so it is deliberately misleading of you to try and claim he self-identified as Muslim while leaving out the pertinent facts.
3) What does his surname being Soetoro have anything to do with any of this? His step-dad's surname was Soetero; So he used it . He changed it when he was old enough. How many American kids take the surname of their step-dads? I have noticed the rightwing peddle this "Barry Soetero" fact as evidence of some sort of nefarious behavior . Barry is just easier to recall than Barack, there is nothing nefarious about it.
The irony is that Barry is far more Western a name than Barack but the rightwing turned it into a negative because they want to peddle the belief that Obama is hiding his past.
"because Trump" isn't a free roll for everything, because standards should be independent, even then I don't see Trump calling anyone motherfucker.
