Burned out my irony meter.
As you pointed out, Lincoln was not a christian. If we are to believe his wife, Mary Todd Lincoln, he was an atheist. After Lincoln's death she expressed the fear that Abe had gone to hell because of it.
It is interesting to note that, as Rev. Bird Wilson (who knew several of them) lamented in 1831, of our first Presidents (George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, John Q. Adams, Andrew Jackson) none was a christian. The two Adams were Unitarians and the rest were deists, except that Jackson was more likely an atheist.
