I am an athiest so I understand and agree with your concern about the separation of church and state. I agree that Barack does use religious rhetoric to reach out to voters who respond to that language. Where I disagree is the idea that this is particularly unusual or problematic. I find the secretive nature of Hillary's religious activities to be far more troubling. Here is an interview with Barack that I found interesting:

Whatever we once were, we're no longer just a Christian nation; we are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of non-believers. We should acknowledge this and realize that when we're formulating policies from the state house to the Senate floor to the White House, we've got to work to translate our reasoning into values that are accessible to every one of our citizens, not just members of our own faith community.
