GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee implied President Barack Obama is not sincere about his Christian faith, during an interview on Newsmax TV.

Huckabee affirmed there is no religious litmus test for the presidency when asked whether a candidate's faith should prevent them from holding office.

"I'm less concerned about what faith a person has, I'm more concerned about the authenticity of their faith and how that plays out in their policies," he said.

"I'm also concerned about a guy that believes he's a Christian and pretends to be and then says he is but does things that makes it very difficult for people to practice their Christian faith," Huckabee said, in an apparent reference to Obama.

"I'm disappointed if a person who says, 'I'm a Christian,' but you invite the pope into your home and then you invite a whole bunch of people who are at odds with the Catholic Church policy.

"There's something very unseemly about that," he said.

The Obama administration has been criticized for inviting pro-gay, pro-abortion and transgendered Catholics to a reception for Pope Francis at the White House.

Huckabee made his comments on "The Hard Line" show with host Ed Berliner.
