"It is commonly believed that Lincoln was an atheist."

Commonly Believed? Only by Lincoln character assassins like you. Anyone who has studied Lincoln with an open mind knows he was not an atheist or even an agnostic. Not associating on a regular basis with any particular denomination and being an atheist are two entirely different things.

I find it impossible to believe that a sincere believer could have placed the blame for his own evil on God.
