No, he was protestant but a great Christian and lover of God.
Every single one of them except for the diocese of Lincoln, Nebraska.
no- he was not a church member but he was not intolerant of people who did belong to churches. Growing up where and when he did , he did not meet many Catholics.
There is no evidence that Abraham Lincoln, either as a private citizen or as US president opposed Catholicism. In the 1858 debates with Senator Stephen A. Douglas, whose second wife was a Catholic, the Illinois Republican Party opposed Catholicism . This gave radicals another reason to oppose Douglas. As US president Lincoln did help to allow a gathering in Washington DC raise funds for a Catholic church. The expert answer of Donna Halper saw my error about Douglas himself and rightly corrected it.

First, in Lincoln's time, there were no massive waves of immigrants from Russia or Italy or China, like there would be several decades later. During the era when he was in office, many of the immigrants came from Ireland and Germany, and they were members of the Catholic religion; America had up to that point been mostly a Protestant country, and some people, including a group called the "Know-Nothings," were very opposed to Catholics coming to the US. Lincoln, however, refused to go along with anti-Catholic prejudice, and he supported the right of those immigrants to come here.
The "wets", were more likely to live in the less affluent areas of the community and represent the working class. Many belonged to the Catholic and Lutheran Churches and were of Russian and German backgrounds.
In terms of academics, the answer is far and away St. Patrick (follow link below). It's the only Catholic school that made the Tribune list of best Chicago area high schools, and the only Catholic school that posts test scores that rival places like New Trier and Chicago Latin school.
