The most certain thing we can say about Lincoln is that he was a freethinker. He rejected the Bible and Christianity specifically, but it's open question whether he would consider himself an Atheist, Agnostic, Deist, or Pantheist.

Debatable. Honest Abe converted to Christianity shortly after his death.
After his death? Is this snark or a typo?

Here's an excellent piece I found the other day about Lincoln and freethought.
Snark, but snark based in reality. There were false stories spread about Lincoln and his godliness after he was not around to refute them.
I'll bet he's baptised as a Mrmon by now, anyway.
Now that one was a typo. I meant "Mormon."
