You have a habit of believing what you want to believe, and seeing only that which you feel supports you while waving away all else with "that proves nothing". I will not waste my time providing you more information to ignore. But for those who believe in learning: Hitler used Christian symbols and ideas for his own purposes but Hitler was clearly not a Christian. Hitler used Christianity for his own purposes. (Hitler also used Roman symbols - do you claim Hitler was also a Roman?)
Your link is not from a reliable source it is somebody that had a point to make (anti-Christian) and set out to pick through evidence to build a case (rather than find the truth). Yes Hitler used parts of Christianity but Hitler was no Christian.

YOu need to go through the whole site, not just the link that Ichneumon gave, there is some fascinating information in there.
And as to the fact that Hitler was a Christian? I personally, from what history I have read and rooted around for, would say that yes, he was a Christian, just not a good one.
He took the bible, interpreted it the way he wanted to, and then took that mess and turned it into a political goal.
He took his prejudices, and used ANYTHING that would help him explain them and show that his prejudices were correct.
He was a plagarer(spelling) and took from ANYWHERE that would help him, that included religion, science, philosophy, etc ad nauseum.
He was a very intelligent and educated man, but he was also one of the nuttiest fruitcakes that ever lived.
