When the baby comes from a Jewish Mother and the father is not, the baby is still Jewish by law.
If the father is Jewish, and the Mother is not then the baby is not Jewish.
All babies are raised in the Mothers religion.
Jewish women raise their babies Jewish.
Catholic women raise their babies Catholic.
Moslem women raise their babies Moslem.
Buddist women raise their babies buddist.
I hope I explained this right and it helps you to understand.

I thought that people are considered Muslim if their father is Muslim. That is why Barack Obama is Muslim according to Muslim law.

Moshe92,
You are correct. Islam is passed to the child through the father. This is the belief of Islam. I have done some research on the topic and Islam is established through Patrilineal Descent while Judaism is through Matrilineal Descent.

Odrama's mother was an athiest. That is why he was raised as a Moslem, his Mother didn't give a crap about anything.

It doesnt matter what Obamas mother had to say about it. According to Islamic law the child of a Moslem man will always be considered a Muslim. This is called Patrilineal descent... Google this term to learn how it works.
Tzvi Ben Roshel1:
Non-Jews are not born into a religion. A person born to Muslim parent's does not make the child a muslim, nor does one born to Christian parents make the child a Christian. They are all Bnai Noah who then might (many times because of the heavy influence of the parents) then follow any of the different religions and cults. But technically all of humanity are Bnai Noah and are subject to the laws of Bnai Noah (at least according to the Torah that G-d gave on Mt. Sinai, and to the commandments G-d gave to Adam and then to Noah).
