"I would remind you that Adolph Hitler considered himself a truly religious person, Roman Catholic I believe.

This is absolutely WRONG so please don't bother "reminding" me of it. I don't know where people get this silly canard!

I am not RC, but it is a matter of incontrovertible fact that Hitler left the Catholic church as a very young man, never to return in any fashion. He was absolutely athiestic in his personal beliefs. As a matter of fact, the Nazis made a stab at resurrecting the old, German pagan gods though I don't believe they had much success with it. Like all good totalitarians, they regarded the Church as an enemy because its influence on people competed with the influence of the state.

From Mein Kampf. " I am convinced that I am acting as the agent of our Creator. By fighting off the Jews. I am doing the Lord's work.

He also quoted those words in a 1938 speech. In 1941 he stated to General Gerhart Engel that "I am now as before a Catholic and will always remain so."

There are more declarations from him that affirm his true beliefs, and you ignore reality at your own peril, IMO.

Also, I would wonder why the Nazi's belt buckles had the words "God is with us" on them if they were supposed to be atheists.

Pox - if you want to know what Hitler thought about religion, please read the two links below. Then you'll be well-informed to discuss this topic. Right now you're just repeating some statements you've read, but have no understanding of Hitler's actual philosophy.

Really, there's no need to be ill-informed and parrot silly talking points.
