Abraham Lincoln was not a Mason. In fact, in some Scottish Rite ritual, there is mention of Lincoln actually considering becoming a Mason but not actually doing it.

I have not heard of that but many of the founding fathers were masons.
I have read that Lincolns moral beliefs were greatly influenced by Thomas Paine. Paine was a deist.
