It would be preposterous to pin either Christianity or Darwinism to Hitler's madness.

Except his actions lined up with atheism and Darwinism, as did the majority of his writings.

Except they don't.:

"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."
and
"My feeling as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded only by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God's truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was his fight against the Jewish poison. Today, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that He had to shed his blood upon the Cross. As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice. ...And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we are acting rightly, it is the distress that daily grows. For as a Christian I have also a duty to my own people. And when I look on my people I see them work and work and toil and labor, and at the end of the week they have only for their wages wretchedness and misery. When I go out in the morning and see these men standing in their queues and look into their pinched faces, then I believe I would be no Christian, but a very devil, if I felt no pity for them, if I did not, as did our Lord two thousand years ago, turn against those by whom today this poor people are plundered and exploited."

Of course, one can search all of Mein Kampf and find just one mention of evolution, in a political context and not a biological one. And exactly zero mentions of Darwin.
That's zero; none, nil, zip.

But you will find hundreds of references to the Lord, God and Savior.

Rather odd, don't you think, that an atheistic Hitler would boast about stamping out atheism?
Also odd is that Hitler never mentioned Darwin.
And what about the mandatory prayers to Jesus that was required in all schools during the Nazi administration.

This was an atheistic Darwinist?

Oh, and BTW jesse, books by Darwin were banned by the Nazis. Just thought you should know ...

Yes, and Wernher von Braun's work lined up with Newton's, so Newton's theory of gravitation must also be wrong and/or evil, I suppose, along with his Laws.
