Herndon's intimate knowledge and friendship with Abraham Lincoln were in his pre-presidential years. As several of the posts here indicate, and the vast majority of historians/biographers agree, Lincoln's faith grew strongest during his presidential years. Can you cite some of those who knew Lincoln closely throughout his presidency (unlike Herndon who did not) and thought he was an atheist? Thanks.
