But it *does* provide good evidence that he was influenced by Christianity.

That's like saying Madalyn Murray O'Hare was "influenced" by Christianity.

She hated it and so did Hitler. Why would Hitler try to replace deep-seated Christian holidays with non-Christian ones i.e. Christmas with the Winter Solstice?

Sort of like what many secularist in this country want.

The caption says "Winter Solstice 1943."

Or saying that Hitler was "influenced" by Darwin.

Because he was forming his own religion. How does that negate the fact that he was "influenced" by Christianity?

How can someone grow up surrounded by a religion and *not* be influenced by it? It's like suggesting that he wasn't "influenced" by German culture.
