News Bulletin For Stanley Crouch - Lincoln Was A Non-Believer
I've never much cared for Stanley Crouch, and this this is pretty much exactly why:
From the abolition movement through the brilliance of Abraham Lincoln's presidency and the brave leadership of the civil-rights movement, we have seen how well our country has been influenced for the better by people of faith.
Ignore the mind-numbing cliche "people of faith," ignore the fact that 60% of pro-slavery pamphlets were penned by clergymen... but Abraham Lincoln a believer? This is painful to read even for us rank amateur students of American history.
