The link you posted deals with a purported Darwin-Hitler link.

Here is a different take on the matter (from Index to Creationist Claims):

Claim CA006.1:

Adolf Hitler exploited the racist ideas of Darwinism to justify genocide.

Why do you even bother? balch3 and the rest of the creationists are just going to bring up another trivial argument after trivial argument and claim that you haven’t responded or that you have mis-defined ‘science’ and ‘truth.’ They believe in Creationism because they *want* it to be true and they *fear* the consequences if it were not true. Unless you address those fundamental emotional concerns you will never make any headway no matter how much evidence you cite.

Hitler was strongly opposed to atheism. He did not, however, want the State becoming embroiled in religious matters.

Reading Hitler’s “Table Talks” shows him to be a Deist.

“Fundamentally in everyone there is the feeling for this almighty, which we call ‘God’ (that is to say, the dominion of natural laws throughout the whole universe). The priests, who have always succeeded in exploiting this feeling, threaten punishments for the man who refuses to accept the creed they impose.”

Hitler was certainly no Christian:

“The heaviest blow that ever struck humanity was the coming of Christianity. Bolshevism is Christianity’s illegitimate child. Both are inventions of the Jew. The deliberate lie in the matter of religion was introduced into the world by Christianity. Bolshevism practices a lie of the same nature, when it claims to bring liberty to men, whereas in reality it seeks only to enslave them. In the ancient world, the relations between men and gods were founded on an instinctive respect. It was a world enlightened by the idea of tolerance. Christianity was the first creed in the world to exterminate its adversaries in the name of love. Its keynote is intolerance.” - from “Table Talks”.

You can read more anti-christian (indeed, anti-any-religion) rhetoric of Hitler’s “Table Talks” here: http://library.flawlesslogic.com/religion.htm
