Lincoln's struggle with secularism/religion is nowhere more apparent than in his second inagural address. You should read it (not just skim it, it's short). It contains one of the most concise summaries of the dilemma ever written.

Lincoln had been not only comparing religion to secularism, but had been examining spiritualsim and other alternatives to find an answer to the great problems of his time.

It seems we need a Lincoln now.

I didn't realize that Lincoln was assassinated AFTER the South had capitulated. What a butthole Booth was.

Sorry, but I don't see that struggle. Instead, the struggle I saw was the reconciliation between two previously warring sides, each of which prayed and believed that God was on their side.

Where does secularism enter the picture?
