Rick Santorum: The GOP's Most Extreme Presidential Hopeful

Rick Santorum's extreme views on separation between church and state are alarming

Republican hopefuls like Rick Santorum speak of President Obama’s war on religion with an aura of urgency that might leave some to believe that the claim is more than hot air.  What’s more accurate is that Santorum and his ilk have their own war on non-believers meant to alienate those who do not believe in any one God or that there is a God at all.  

Last week, Rick Santorum implied President Obama is a “phony” Christian without any evidence. Franklin Graham elaborated on this and also claimed that President Obama may not in fact be a Christian.  These attacks are nothing new, and they are normally framed as the Obama administration’s “war on religion.”  It may in fact be more accurate to describe these attacks as the right’s war of religion
