The website you sent me to is bogus, thrown together by half-brained partisans with an agenda. Even still, though, such an obviously bogus website was unable to find a single direct quote where Hilter "called himself a Christian." They can't find one because he never said it. Vague references to the "Lord" were Hitler's way of enticing Christians without ever actually saying he was one of them.

As I said in my first post, Hitler made statements throughout his early political career which were friendly to the Christian point of view, but he alway made them cynically and for political purposes. His own beliefs were in fact anti-Christian. He commissioned Heinrich Himmler to come up with foundational credos for a new religion, which Himmler set about doing with hundreds of SS men at Castle Wolfenstein.
