We also know that Hitler was baptized Catholic and raised as a Catholic, so what’s your point?

There is no point because this ridiculous game of tossing the Hitler religion hot potato back and forth is pointless.

He exhibited nothing but disdain for every form of Christianity once he rose to power.

He used the State Church to further his own ends, intending to coopt and corrupt it with his wild mixture of outright occult, Teutonic paganism and socialism on crack, and he persecuted or killed anyone who stood in his way.

Had that State Church been Catholic, he’d still have done the same thing; just look to his ally Italy and Mussolini.

I agree with you. I was not the one who started this.

“Had that State Church been Catholic, he’d still have done the same thing; just look to his ally Italy and Mussolini.”

You have no idea what you’re saying. There was no “State Church”. Religions were finacially supported by the state, but there was no national church per se. Mussolini failed in his attempt to use the Church in Italy. He could use it against its will for propaganda, but that was it. The Church resisted Mussolini where it could. The Church also resisted Hitler.
