Not exactly. It is very common for various religions and philosophies to claim that a famous person is "one of us." We can see this, for example, in the followers of Theosophy, a philosophy that was created by Madame Helena Blavatsky in the mid 1870s; it is a hybrid of a number of humanistic and philosophical traditions, with a touch of mysticism thrown in, and it focuses on the search for wisdom and the respect for all religions and creeds. There is no evidence that Barack Obama studied or espoused Theosophy, nor did he join any Theosophical groups or societies. But some of his views are certainly aligned with a belief in tolerance and respect for other cultures and creeds. As a result, some current members of Theosophy have "claimed" him and there have been articles written which assert that he could be considered a theosophist. I enclose a link to one of those articles.

Foster Bailey, who was a theosophist, has written several books on spirituality and related topics, with a focus on the teachings of Theosophy. Some of his notable works include "The Spirit of Freemasonry," "Running God's Plan," and "The Nine Paths to God."
