Lincoln's Christianity by Michael Burkhimer

[RJNorton]

The quote is not included in the Fehrenbachers' book. From what I can tell this quote comes from The Lincoln Memorial Album—Immortelles. One entry is titled, "Reply to an Illinois clergyman." The clergyman is not named. IMO the Fehrenbachers would give this quote an "F" had they chosen to include it. My guess is that it is not included as the source is nameless.

I found the quote on p. 366 here.

IMO there is insufficient evidence to support this quote as being legitimate.
