More Lincoln than God

Wasn't it John Lennon that said The Beatles were more famous than God? Maybe I'm confusing my quotes or my sources but here's one directly from the latest issue of Newsweek:

"There are now upward of 15,000 books about Lincoln, more than about any other person except Jesus (though there are more about Lincoln than about God, reckons Baker)."

The article goes on to say that Lincoln has surpassed George Washington as our most revered president. New research, from archaeological digs in Illinois to garage sale finds all over, have continued to reveal the true Lincoln, the true reach of his influence.

Just a little mixing of politics and religion to start your Saturday morning...
