Hitler’s private statements are more clear. There are negative statements about Christianity reported by Hitler’s intimates, Goebbels, Speer, and Bormann.[18] Joseph Goebbels, for example, notes in a diary entry in 1939: “The Führer is deeply religious, but deeply anti-Christian. He regards Christianity as a symptom of decay.” Albert Speer reports a similar statement: “You see, it’s been our misfortune to have the wrong religion. Why didn’t we have the religion of the Japanese, who regard sacrifice for the Fatherland as the highest good? The Mohammedan religion too would have been much more compatible to us than Christianity. Why did it have to be Christianity with its meekness and flabbiness?”[19] In the Hossbach Memorandum Hitler is recorded as saying that “only the disintegrating effect of Christianity, and the symptoms of age” were responsible for the demise of the Roman empire.[20] In 1941, Hitler praised an anti-Christian tract from 362CE, Julian’s Against the Galileans, saying “I really hadn’t known how clearly a man like Julian had judged Christians and Christianity, one must read this...”[21] He was reported to say that religion should die on its own accord.[22]

You’ll never convince those who hate Christ’s Church. Their hearts are full of loathing and self-righteousness, hardened by centuries of false teaching and division resulting from the work of the evil one, and until the love of Christ softens their hearts they will not see the Truth.
