What "Churches" survived the Nazi regime "intact"? Not the Catholic Church. Thousands of priests were murdered and sent to camps, nuns raped, churches burned or confiscated (several turned into Nazi museums). Hitler hated Christianity.

Yep, religion competed with his Nationalism. Hitler's Nationalism was at the top of the food chain and once his power had sufficiently grown, he began dispatching his competitors.

Yes Hitler hated Christianity. This all reminded me of one of the Pali rant-chants: "We shall fight on Saturday, and then on Sunday" (first the Jews, then the Christians). Hitler was beyond a paganist, he was an occultist.

The Germans were not Catholics...they were Lutherans...Hitler did have his problems with the churches...but he by no means destroyed them...I don't think Hitler "hated" Christianity...he just didn't have any use for it...he disliked the politics of religion...'tis why he was in to the occult and paganism...in which Europeans still celebrate paganistic rites to this day....
