I occasionally hear atheists claim that Hitler was a Christian, despite that he never called himself one. Like all the communist leaders that murdered people by the millions, he hated the idea of God because of the morality it imposes. Morality that differs sharply from the worldly one that these people embraced: might makes right.
It’s worth remembering too that Stalin was once a seminarian.
Wouldn’t you say that Hitler was a fascist instead of a communist?
America was once considered a Judeo-Christian country.
It is no longer considered that, and hasn’t been for many years.
To our detriment.
Hitler said in a speech, “One is either a German or a Christian, you cannot be both.”
The Brits liked that so much they put it on a wartime poster (early memeing, right?) with Hitler’s picture next to the photos of a bombed out city.
I know Martin Luther’s “On the lies of the Jews” was a huge inspiration for Mein Kampf.
Didn’t he also take over the Lutheran Church during the ‘30s through ‘40s?
I realize this isn’t very Christian. It seems like he tried to hijack the church.
He was baptized as a Catholic, but obviously was no longer a Christian in any meaningful sense by that time...yet evidently he saw some benefit in making a pretense.
