Nazi crimes were the result of paganism. National Socialism was an occultic theocracy.
Communist crimes stemmed from atheism
You’re assuming that the Bishop is being quoted accurately and in proper context by Spiegel.
Nietzsche was a flaming atheist.
Nietzsche was a preferred philosopher of Nazism. His “superman” theory fed directly into the eugenics and Aryan directions of Nazism.
Therefore, while individual Nazis were Germans, and were generally members of either the Catholic or Lutheran churches, the undergirdings of their political philosophy were atheistic.
The same way as atheistic humanism infects Christianity via the culture and results in the murder of innocent babies with a chorus of approving churches.

Some Nazis were pagans. The socialism of the Nazis, however, shows that many were enthralled by atheism. Nazis like Baldur von Schirach (Hitler Youth leader from 1931 until 1940 and convicted war criminal), Artur Axmann (Hitler Youth leader from 1940 until 1945) and Martin Bormann were all atheists.
I think it shows where Hitler wanted the Nazi movement to go in terms of religious beliefs thathe had two athiests in a row lead the Hitler Youth - after all the Hitler Youth were the future of the Nazi society.
In the meantime, Hitler allowed people of all religious backgrounds (except Jews of course) to join the Nazi party or serve the regime (including Muslims and even a few Jews in odd circumstances).
What kind of religious services did Nazis perform?
