"My earlier views of the unsoundness of the Christian scheme of salvation and the human origin of the scriptures, have become clearer and stronger with advancing years and I see no reason for thinking I shall ever change them.."
Abraham Lincoln
 
He was Christian and spent many long prayer filed days and night in his Presidential Office during the problems of the civil war...
 
Lincoln wasn't very outspoken about his beliefs, but most historians believe he was a Deist.
 
Probably deist. In any case he didn't seem to think that people needed to know.
