First off Hitler was baptized Catholic by is parents but later in life came to opposed Christianity along with Nazis who favored a religion of the blood and paganism. Don't believe here's a clip from the documentary Nazis and the Occult made by the Discovery Channel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbvp8wXPYYo
Quotes from prominent Nazis about christian and paganism
February 1937 Hanns Kerrl, Minister of Religion in the Third Reich, "The question of the divinity of Christ is ridiculous and inessential. A new answer has arisen as to what Christ and Christianity are: Adolph Hitler."
University Nazis in Keil wrote in 1935:We Germans are heathens and want no more Jewish religion in our Germany. We no longer believe in the Holy Ghost; we believe in the Holy Blood."
Erich Ludendorff, the earliest and most important political figure in Germany to support the Nazis, said: The Jews are not our enemies because of their race, but because one of their subtlest rabbis, that man called Saint Paul, distilled the poison of the Christ myth out of the life of the story of Jesus of Nazareth. The Jews are enemies of the Nordic race because they produced Christianity, which has been the poison that has destroyed the vitality of the Aryan people."
Within a year of the Nazis taking power, The Twenty-Five Theses of the German Religion, a conscious modeling of the twenty-five points of the Nazi program, was published in Germany. Thesis XV of that Nazi publication states: The Ethic of the German Religion condemns all belief in inherited sin, as well as the Jewish-Christian teaching of a fallen world. Such a teaching is not only non-Germanic and non-German, it is immoral and nonreligious. Whoever preaches this menaces the morality of the people."
Just as Nazi propaganda made odious caricatures of lecherous Jewish preying on young German maidens, Nazi propaganda made identical caricatures of lecherous priests preying on young German maidens. In August 1935, the bishops of Germany presented at Fulda a pastoral letter warning of the Nazi "campaign of annihilation against Christianity" and a year after that Bishop Bornewasser publicly spoke about the Christian men and women who were persecuted by the Nazis because of their faith. On November 4, 1936, the Nazis ordered the removal of crucifixes from schools in the Oldenburg area on the grounds that these were "symbols of superstition." This order was rescinded only after Nazis were faced with determined local opposition. Then despite rescinding the Nazi prohibition of these "symbols of superstition," in December 1936 Nazi bureaucrats simply removed crucifixes anyway in Munsterland. When Christians replaced them in some schools, they were arrested by the Nazis.
Nordland, a Nazi magazine, called the Sermon on the Mount "the first Bolshevist manifesto." The principle of the National Socialist state, Hitler told an audience in 1937, was "not in Christianity nor in social theory but in the unified people's community," and the same year Himmler banned all Confessing Church seminaries and instruction and he closed all private religious schools two years later.
Let me put it this as if Hitler and the Nazis were Christians why would they want to replace it with pagan religions of the blood it's simple they wanted to destroy Christianity.

Sounds like a lot of the haters of Christianity on R&S, doesn't it?

Peoples and nations have tried to wipe out the Jews and Christianity for centuries.

It ain't happening.

No matter who is against the Jews and Christians, they themselves, as history has

shown will perish. History has a habit of repeating itself but some choose to ignore it.

You cannot rewrite history no matter how hard you try to change the truth!



Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord. - Adolf Hitler



My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter.

- Adolf Hitler



As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice... And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we are acting rightly it is the distress that daily grows. For as a Christian I have also a duty to my own people. - Adolf Hitler



The folkish-minded man, in particular, has the sacred duty, each in his own denomination, of making people stop just talking superficially of God's will, and actually fulfill God's will, and not let God's word be desecrated. For God's will gave men their form, their essence and their abilities. Anyone who destroys His work is declaring war on the Lord's creation, the divine will. - Adolf Hitler



Secular schools can never be tolerated because such schools have no religious instruction, and a general moral instruction without a religious foundation is built on air; consequently, all character training and religion must be derived from faith ...we need believing people. - Adolf Hitler



We were convinced that the people need and require this faith. We have therefore undertaken the fight against the atheistic movement, and that not merely with a few theoretical declarations; we have stamped it out. - Adolf Hitler



Will you be claiming George W Bush was not a Chrsitian next?!



George W Bush started FIVE wars in less than eight years stating each time that it was his "God Given Duty” and on September 16th 2001 even called it a Crusade!



Not his duty to the electors!



Not his duty to America!



Just his duty to keep slaughtering heathens for his god!



Causing trillions of dollars of national debt that will take decades to repay and 46 MILLION Americans living below the poverty line that Mitt Romney does not care about!

Hitler's public beliefs changed as the situations changed. Hitler always did what was politically expedient. But, there were Christian Nazis. And, the Third Reich had a negotiated peace with the Roman Catholic Church.

its inconceivable to believe that Nazis hated all Christianity because 95% of German people were Christians. It would be like a person running for a Israeli government position but hating all jews. In fact, Most German people followed a Christians movement called Deutsche Christen an off shoot of Protestants.



you cant re- write history

POL POT was a Christian

Stalin was at one time studding for priesthood

the Inquisition was a christian movement



Im NOT anti Christians. Im anti -false history

Perhaps your argument has some merit, but the Nazis never imprisoned or killed Christians because of their faith, while they actively sought out, persecuted and killed Jews, homosexuals and various other groups.



While it is perfectly reasonable to argue that the Nazis were trying to establish their own religion and/or "race", it is clear that Christianity was not a primary, secondary or even tertiary target ad was largely accepted.

If a leader can take away religion it gives them the ability to manipulate and go through cruel methods to control the people.

There are pictures of Hitler shaking hands with high ranking clergy.



He did hate Jehovah's Witnesses because they wouldn't support him. He had them thrown into concentration camps. They could have renounced their faith but wouldn't.

Uh, right, that's why they had "Gott mit uns" on their belt buckles and told the German people they were carrying out the will of God.

Cherry pick all you want, that does not mean your view is reality.
