There's only been one US president who never joined a church! Who is it?

There's only been one US president who never joined a church! Who is it?

Abraham Lincoln's religious beliefs are a matter of debate. Lincoln grew up in a highly religious family, but never joined any church.




As a young man he was a skeptic. He frequently referenced God and quoted the Bible; he attended Protestant church services with his wife and children.




After the deaths of two of his children, he became more intensely concerned with God's plan for mankind. He was private about his beliefs and respected the beliefs of others.




Lincoln never made a clear profession of standard Christian beliefs; he did believe in an all-powerful God that shaped events and, by 1865, was expressing those beliefs in major speeches.




Abraham Lincoln is the only U.S. President who never joined a church and at one time seen as atheist.
