"The founders of our nation were nearly all Infidels, and that of the presidents who had thus far been elected [Washington; Adams; Jefferson; Madison; Monroe; Adams; Jackson] not a one had professed a belief in Christianity....
"Among all our presidents from Washington downward, not one was a professor of religion, at least not of more than Unitarianism."
-- The Reverend Doctor Bird Wilson, an Episcopal minister in Albany, New York, in a sermon preached in October, 1831. One might expect a modern defender of the Evangelical to play with the meaning of "Christianity," making it refer only to a specific brand of orthodoxy, first sentence quoted in John E Remsberg, "Six Historic Americans," second sentence quoted in Paul F Boller, George Washington & Religion, pp. 14-15

Quite a few. Unfortunately they have to hide it or the religious people wouldn't have voted for them. Sad isn't it?

Only one who was not a professing Christian, and that was Thomas Jefferson. He was a deist, however.
John Quincy Adams was Unitarian, and most denominational scholars classify Unitarianism as a cult.

Your link didn't work, but I'm going to guess it says all of them. However, I think all of them have professed to belong to one of the Christian denominations. To me it doesn't matter as long as he/she does a good job.

Probably the first four or five, Lincoln was sorta Christian/sorta deist...most of 'em have been Christian to one extent or another though.
