Abraham Lincoln on Freethought

“Christianity is not my religion and the Bible is not my book. I could never give assent to the long complicated statements of doctrine and dogma.”

“Let us discard all this quibbling about this man and the other man--this race and that race and the other race being inferior, and therefore they must be placed in and inferior position. ... Let us discard all these things, and unite as one people throughout this land, until we shall once more stand up declaring that all men are created equal.”
