79. He was Presbyterian on 'record'-
but sounds like he was more of a 'deist'- There is speculation his death was not as a result of pneumonia, after giving the longest Inaugural Address in history in bitter cold weather- but was poisoned by "Jesuits" with arsenic-

from his Inaugural address-

""I deem the present occasion sufficiently important and solemn to justify me in expressing to my fellow-citizens a profound reverence for the Christian religion and a thorough conviction that sound morals, religious liberty, and a just sense of religious responsibility are essentially connected with all true and lasting happiness; and to that good Being who has blessed us by the gifts of civil and religious freedom, who watched over and prospered the labors of our fathers and has hitherto preserved to us institutions far exceeding in excellence those of any other people, let us unite in fervently commending every interest of our beloved country in all future time." -- Inaugural Address, 4 March 1841

I respect the way he spoke of politics/government as well as 'religion' but didn't preach theocracy.
