    Paraphrasing from the site listed below:

    It is obvious that Christianity exerted a profound influence on Abraham Lincoln's life.

    His father was a member of Regular Baptist churches in Kentucky and Indiana. Lincoln himself read the Bible throughout his life, quoted from it extensively, and frequently made use of biblical images, as in the 'House Divided' speech of 1858.

    During his years as president he regularly attended the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church in Washington, however, he never joined a church nor ever made a clear profession of standard Christian beliefs. While he read the Bible in the White House, he was not in the habit of saying grace before meals.

    Lincoln's friend Jesse Fell noted that the president 'seldom communicated to anyone his views' on religion, and he went on to suggest that those views were not orthodox.
