"Unbelievable" radio show with host Justin Brierley had on Richard Carrier and Richard Weikart to discuss the issue surrounding Hitler's faith. The title of this weeks show was:

This is really gets tiring! I noticed that during the Bush years in office the scums argued nothing but movies and documentaries on Hitler etc. etc.! I am so sick of the liberal scum sick of them! God knows that in reality it’s the liberals/DemonRATS who belong to hitler’s third Reich!

[RoseofTexas]

Butler was a far- leftist dictator. While the right end of the political spectrum can have its problems too, it has been the left (communists, Nazis, islamonazis) that have murdered the most innocent people — by far.

“Butler was a far- leftist dictator.”

Auto-correct sucks, huh?

[Skooz]

I have never heard of this blithering imbecile.

I’m sure I’m the richer for it.

[faithhopecharity]

Yes indeed. ! Butler -— or rather. H I T L E R — was a socialist. Leftist. Autocorrect does indeed sicko. S u c k o. Ha! Thanks.

It's all total rubbish.
Hitler was raised Catholic, not Lutheran, and by his own account did not grow up hating Jews, meaning he didn't learn anti-Semitism from the Catholic Church.
Where Hitler said he first learned to hate Jews was in Vienna, Austria, pre-First World War, as an aspiring artist whose works were rejected by Jews who could have helped him succeed.
During WWI, Hitler was awarded a medal by a German Jewish general, which cannot have displeased him.
But the association of Jews & Communists after the war, in Hitler's mind, and the alleged "stab in the back" which forced an undefeated German Army to surrender, those brought Hitler's hatred of Jews to boiling and found resonances among defeated & bitter fellow Germans.

During the Holocaust Nazis arrested many thousands of Catholic and other clergy, of whom thousands died in prison.
So any suggestions that churches Hitler tried to destroy were somehow responsible for Hitlerian beliefs they did not share seems absurd in the extreme.

Finally, we should note that Nazis original plans for Jews included repatriating them to Palestine, but that visits with Muslim leaders there, especially the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, ended such talk.
Indeed, the Holocaust itself can be seen as Hitler's grand gesture to win approval amongst Mideast Muslims, in support of Hitler's Africa Korps and planned invasion from Southern Russia.

Neither Martin Luther nor Pope Pius XII had anything to do with those plans, and devout Christians suffered much from them.

Indeed. The first three groups in the camps were pastors, priests, and political opponents.

Hitler was an atheist whose favorite book was Nietzsche’s atheist apologetic “Thus Spake Zarathustra”. He sent a copy of it to each of his generals.
