After his death? Is this snark or a typo?

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.
Here's an excellent piece I found the other day about Lincoln and freethought.

I'll bet he's baptised as a Mrmon by now, anyway.

Now that one was a typo. I meant "Mormon."

I learned about Abe Lincoln several years ago. Someone tried to use Lincoln to suggest that I should be religious, so I looked it up... boy were they sorry.
