“I am a believer but not with that degree of firmness of faith calculated to express a controlling influence on my conduct. I ought consistently to pray, ‘Help Thou my unbelief.‘ I trust that the Almighty Father, through the merits and atonement of His Son, will yet vouchsafe to me a clearer and stronger faith than I possess.“
– President James Buchanan, February 29, 1844
