Probably because Christianity was the only religion I was exposed to as a child and it seemed logical to me. Never really knew there were other religions until I was about grown - I grew up in a small town in SE Oklahoma. I have to think a lot of people like me identify with Christianity because it is socially unacceptable not to in the Bible Belt.
Neither of my parents were religious and most of my extended family and the majority of my friends identify with Christianity to some extent, but I figure the faith of most of them is broader than it is deep.

Obama's just trying to conceal his real religion. He's Jewish.
Just look at all the Jews he has in his administration.
David Axelrod
Rahm Emanuel
Peter Orszag
Jared Bernstein
Dennis Ross
Larry Summers
AND
He appointed Elena Kagan to the SCOTUS
Can't fool me. I read it in a email.

LMFAO!!
My brother lived, worked, and traveled with muslims in the middle east for many years. I once asked him about how muslims live their lives. He said they are very "religious" as you put it when at home. But, since he traveled with them he saw them away from their homes and outside of their communities and said that anything went. According to him they (at least the one's he workded with in two different countries) are as decadent as any people he's been around but they go to great lengths to hide it.
That's what Obama seems to me. And I don't blame him. Nor do I care. But that's my counter to the "He's a Muslim crowd"...I don't think he's religious. Sorry, I don't. Growing up in Oklahoma, I have enough experience with the "Sigh, it's just easier this way" stuff from many people to make me THINK I recognize it in him.

I cant speak for Islam, but I know I get sick of people saying "So and so isnt Christian [or insert some other religion here], because I have seen them do [some action perceived to be contrary]." All Christians sin, and I imagine all Muslims sin. Its in our very nature. Anyone of them who says they dont,... well,... are sinning.
His religion doesn't matter to me. I still think he is awful.
I dont pay attention to statistics, less-so poll driven statistics.
