Bad religion: Rick Santorum, Dominionisim, and Mary, Queen of Scots  by John M. Watkins Rick Santorum, currently leading the polls in his run for the Republican nomination for  president, has said that President Obama bases his administration on a "phony theology:" Obama’s agenda is “not about you. It’s not about your quality of life. It’s not about your jobs. It’s about some phon y ideal. Some phony theology. Oh, not a theology  based on the Bible. A different theology,” Santorum told supporters of the conservative Tea Party movement at a Columbus h otel. He later elaborated on this theme by tying the comment to environmentalism: “When you have a worldview that elevates the Earth above man and says we can’t take those resources because we’re going to harm the Earth … it’s just all an attempt to centralize power, to give more power to the government.” This is recognizably a Dominionist critique. Dominionists believe that the Bible says that Christians are given dominion over the earth, and must rule over it rather than serve it, and should also rule over all civil authority. From Wikipedia:
