Try finding any of that crap in the 9-volume Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln. Try real quotes.

Some of those particular quotes appear to be more strongly attributed than others.

Here is a listing of over 40 Lincoln quotes relating to religion that all look pretty solid to me: Religious Quotes by Abraham Lincoln from the Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln

Here is the first quote on the list, dated 1846:

"That I am not a member of any Christian Church, is true; but I have never denied the truth of the Scriptures; and I have never spoken with intentional disrepect of religion in general, or of any denomination of Christians in particular.

And here is the last, Lincoln's last public address:

"The evacuation of Petersburg and Richmond, and the surrender of the principal insurgent army, give hope of a righteous and speedy peace whose joyous expression can not be restrained.
In the midst of this, however, He, from Whom all blessings flow, must not be forgotten.
A call for a national thanksgiving is being prepared, and will be duly promulgated.
