Unfortunately, I think he was raised Catholic, but he didn't live by it.

Hitler was born into a Roman Catholic family but as he reached adulthood he drifted away from organized religion.

He was a sort of pagan. Here's a link that explains it as best as it can be explained.

Hitler was never excommunicated from the Catholic Church according to most claims I've read, although in 1930 the Church declared that "Belonging to the National Socialist Party of Hitler is irreconcilable with the Catholic Conscience."

The Catholic Church strongly opposed the Nazis in the 1932 election. The vast majority of German Catholics did not vote for Hitler, who in fact did not win the election. The Nazis did, however, make up a significant chunk of the Reichstag and Hindenburg - who won the presidency -- did appoint Hitler as chancellor who used that post to acquire absolute power which led to the notorious concordat of 1933.

Still the Catholic Church was contemporarily recognized as Hitler's most prescient critic.

It has been established beyond doubt as that Hitler's plan was to destroy Christianity.

Hitler was a devotee of the Holy Grail. He stated in Mein Kampf that when he came to the part about accepting Jesus as the messiah he took the opposite (satan) direction. His response was that he would never get on his knees to any Jew.

While he "claimed" to be Christian, he was very involved in the occults, so he obviously was not.

He was born and raised a Catholic. Had a good bit of negotiations with the catholic church in 1936 and 38. He was invited to the viewing of the "seamless robe" at the cathederal in Triere, but couldn't make it and so sent a representative.
He died a catholic. According to that particular faith's precepts, he probably had a tough time at his judgement just after he killed himself.

To be very accurate here is a great source article Hitler said "As Christ proclaimed 'love one another', so our call -- 'people's community,' 'public need before private greed,' 'communally-minded social consciousness' -- rings out.! This call will echo throughout the world! The reference to Christ notwithstanding, he was not personally a Christian, regarding the Catholicism he was baptized into as an irrational superstition. In fact he admired Islam more than Christianity, and he and his policies are highly respected by many of the Muslims of the day.

He and his associates had a special distaste for the Catholic Church and, given a choice, preferred modern liberalized Protestantism, taking the view that the best form of Christianity would be one that forsook the traditional other-worldly focus on personal salvation and accommodated itself to the requirements of a program for social justice to be implemented by the state. They also considered the possibility that Christianity might eventually have to be abandoned altogether in favor of a return to paganism, a worldview many of them saw as more humane and truer to the heritage of their people.

The answer was his religion was humanist, his politics socialism and he rejected the Catholicism of his youth, except when it served his political purposes. The Religion he personally founded was the SS, a mixture of paganistic occultism and humanism. It put forth the NAZI Creed, "Nazi" is short for "nationalsozialistische" or "National Socialist" ..
