Rick Santorum seemed to question President Obama\u2019s Christian values today when speaking about the president to a tea party group.<\/span><\/p>\n The \u201cpresident\u2019s agenda\u201d is \u201cnot about you,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s not about you. It\u2019s not about your quality of life. It\u2019s not about your job.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s about some phony ideal, some phony theology,\u201d Santorum said to applause from the crowd. \u201cOh, not a theology based on the Bible, a different theology, but no less a theology.\u201d<\/p>\n The former Pennsylvania senator has said he believes Obama is a Christian, and a statement from the campaign stresses that as well, adding that Santorum was talking not about the president\u2019s religion, but political ideology.<\/p>\n \u201cThe President says he\u2019s a Christian and Rick believes that and has even said so publicly many times,\u201d National Communications Director Hogan Gidley said in a statement. \u201cRick was talking about the President\u2019s belief in the secular theology of government \u2014 and how believing that theology is dangerous because government theology teaches that it\u2019s perfectly fine (to) take away our individual God-given rights and freedoms. Our founders wrote the Constitution to protect our individual rights and freedoms, but it\u2019s clear that President Obama believes the government should control your life. Rick Santorum believes in the Constitution and will always fight to protect our freedoms.\u201d<\/p>\n Although Santorum criticizes the president daily on the campaign trail, this is the first time he has used this rhetoric or said the president has a \u201cdifferent theology.\u201d<\/p>\n
