Show me one quote from Lincoln where he said he was a man of faith. I can show you countless quotes from other people, to include his wife and his best friends that say he was not a man of faith, and was either an atheist or as close to atheism as a man can get. He also could have cared less about the plight of a black man, thinking the white man was his superior.

Which adds up to exactly zero. You may wear your religiosity on your sleeve but that counts for nothing (except in your own mind). That somehow Lincoln fails to measure up to your level of piety is a matter of amusement but otherwise means nothing. Show me one quote from Lincoln where he says "I am an atheist".

He also could have cared less about the plight of a black man, thinking the white man was his superior.

Utterly irrelevant even if true (which it isn't). The same claim could be said of every southron of the age.
