IMO the evidence is overwhelming that Lincoln's faith in God grew strongly, especially late in life. He may have been a skeptic in early and mid-life, but during the Presidential years he changed and had a very powerful faith. This is clearly shown in his letters, conversations with others, and speeches. I simply do not feel he was faking (or deceiving) it for political gain, etc.

In 1872 John T. Stuart said, "Truthfulness was a prominent trait in Mr. Lincoln's character, and it would be impossible for any intimate friend of his to believe that he ever aimed to deceive, either by his words or his conduct."
