On Easter Sunday, President Barack Obama and his family attended a service at historic African-American Shiloh Baptist Church in Washington, which was set up by freed slaves in 1863.

Mr. Obama and his spouse Michelle brought their daughters Malia (12-year) and Sasha (9-years), to the service at historic Baptist Church to huge standing ovation from the people attended worship.

"Barack Obama at Baptist Church"The first, family entered the church and then he has joined in singing with the choir, backed by a live band that included a drums, keyboard and guitar. Rev. Wallace Charles Smith welcomed the Obama's family, noting the congregants pray for them every Sunday in the church.

According to the sources – A large minority of Americans stated that, they think Obama is Muslim, the religion of the Kenyan father he hardly knew. He had to distance himself from the Rev. Jeremiah Wright; the divisive minister had been Obama's priest in Chicago for years.

At collection time, Obama and his two daughters gave some money in envelopes provided at their seats. The first family left after two hours, as the service approached its finale.

The US president and his family have attended services rarely since moving to the White House in January 2009. In the last Easter, Obama's worshipped at the Methodist church in Washington.

There are many who dismiss Obama's religious rhetoric as merely political. But, just as there are those who will never believe that he was born in the United States.
