I believe Stalin and Hitler were Christian.

Nope. They both started out life that way, but that's it.

Only if one employs the term 'Christian' in a broader cultural sense, including one's upbringing, would it apply to Hitler and/or Stalin. But in that case, most everyone in traditionally Christian countries would be considered 'Christian': converts to other religions, agnostics, atheists, and so on.

Ideology and power served as a god to both men.
