What was the religion of US President Richard Nixon?

Mr. Nixon was raised in the Quaker religion; his mother was especially devout. However, it isn't clear if he continued to attend church in that denomination in his later years. He did continue to express religious beliefs: among his friends were mainstream Protestant pastors like the Rev. Billy Graham, and he often seemed more aligned with mainstream Protestantism than with the Quakerism of his youth.
