"On Christmas Eve, No Pasarán posted an article giving evidence that Adolf Hitler wanted to replace Christianity with the "religion" of National Socialism. A couple of readers have taken issue with this and, between them, they offer more than a dozen photos of der Führer or other Nazi leaders in religious settings in order to show, apparently, that Christianity was an integral element in the Nazis' seizure of power and in their scheme of power proper. So let us take an in-depth, dispassionate look at the evidence they bring......."

There is a photo of him meeting with some moslem mufti, so by this reasoning he must have been a moslem.
are you kidding?
I know Hitler told General Heinrici who was a devout Christian that his Christianity was not compatible with being a German general.
On the other hand, I don’t think Hitler made any real threats against him, probably mainly because the General was a defensive genius.
You don’t have to be a Christian to be photographed in a religious setting. Obama’s presence at Rev Wright’s church is recent evidence of that.
Furthermore, it is well-documented that the Nazi Party got leaders of the Lutheran Church in Germany to allow the church to be turned into the German Church. At that point, it ceased to be Christian. Deitrich Bonheoffer and some others tried to bring the church back, but failed and then they created the Confessing Church to give German Christians an alternative to the state-run religion.
High-ranking church leaders are easy to influence because they often love the trappings of wealth and power more than they love Christ.
Yeah.....they have pictures of me in a garage with great frequency....doesn’t make me a car. Dolts
Hitler also recievfed and replied to several letters from Mahatma Ghandi. Did that make him a pacifist?
Churches in Germany under the NAZI were required to remove the Bible from their communion tables and replace it with a copy of Mein Kampf. They also replaced the Cross with a sword.
Yeah real Christian
Hitler was born into a Catholic family but he abandoned Christianity in his teen years for weird blend of occultism/manichaenism. He was heavily influenced by Nieztche, Wagner, and Shopenohauer. And in his dualistic Manichaen world, what we consider to be good...i.e. forgiveness, compassion, love etc, he considered to be evil and vice versa.
Hitler hated Christianity.
Here are some direct quotes from Hitler concerning Christianity. See if you think he was a Christian.

Hitler worshiped demons.
He was born a Catholic but left no evidence of ever having been Christian as an adult. He attempted to co-opt and use the German State Church, which was Lutheran, for propaganda and control purposes. In this he had some small degree of success but his efforts were decidedly not in the favor of anything resembling Christianity. In his personal life, he apparently held Teutonic paganism in high esteem.
So, if “once a Catholic, always a Catholic” is true, he was a very lapsed one who attempted to distort the Protestant State Church beyond all recognition and elevated folk mythology above it.
Doesn’t sound very Christian to me.
And being photographed with Mitt Romney and George W Bush thus makes 0bama a republican and either a morman or a methodist.

Out of Mr. Hitler, why would we expect anything other than a cold, Machiavellian attempt to co-opt whatever “religious good will” he could get?
Personally, he seemed to be enamored of the Norse gods.
While he may have been brought *up* Christian he was no more a Christian in his *adult* life than Ted Kennedy was.
No. There is no evidence. The Scripture says that Christians are known by their fruit. Obviously, Christ was not residing in this man’s heart.
Now, if you want to talk about the fruits of socialism, I think we’ve got plenty of evidence to convict.
As a young adult, he was supposedly rebuff by a married Jewish woman at a picnic, if memory serves.
"Coveting his neighbor's wife" was only the beginning of his disdain for The Ten Commandments.
IMHO, the "artistic temperament" disdains convention, and Hitler was incomplete as an artist (couldn't depict people to save his life, but was good enough to make a living off of land and building-scapes), but loved the histrionics of power.
Officially Hitler was a Christian. But given his clear association with occult of the pagan type, he clearly gave up the tenets of the Christian faith long before he came to power.
Hitler like Himmler were occultist. They believed in some odd nordic gods and the ruins. Hitler was facinated with holy relics. The spear of Destiny and the others from the Indiana Jones movies. He was not even close to being a Christian.
