I take back my point. I see that the original point was referring to a specific type of Darwinian thought--atheistic.

The problem in that is that the evidence given was anecdotal, an example. It provides no evidence that Darwinism led to Nazism, nor that atheism did...it just shows the evils of a madman who was likely an atheist.

Similarly, a listing of the excesses of the Crusades would not be evidence for why we should shun "religious, Christian thought."

Hitler was most certainly not an atheist, unless he was in the deepest darkest part of his heart. The Nazi's were decidedly anti atheist and cracked a few skulls to prove the point. As a movement the Nazi party was anti-Atheist and publicly “Christian” as they (mis)understood the term.

“We were convinced that the people need and require this faith. We have therefore undertaken the fight against the atheistic movement, and that not merely with a few theoretical declarations: we have stamped it out”. Adolf Hitler

“For their interests [the Church's] cannot fail to coincide with ours [the National Socialists] alike in our fight against the symptoms of degeneracy in the world of to-day, in our fight against a Bolshevist culture, against atheistic movement, against criminality, and in our struggle for a consciousness of a community in our national life”. Adolf Hitler
