Don't forget that number includes Hitler.

Okay, this I have to see. Tell me how the murderer of Christians and Jews misused the teachings of the Bible. You make a lot of broad accusations, let's see you prove them with specifics.

This was in another thread. But in Mein Kampf, his speeches, private conversations and writings, he always insists that he is doing the right Christian thing, and continually proclaims himself a Christian. His troops' belt buckles even had "Gott Mit Uns" (God with us) inscribed on them. He made the Concordat with the Vatican, and therefore had no problems with the Church once its position of political power was taken care of. He strongly believed in the power of the church, as long as it was subordinate to the state.

We can play "he wasn't a real Christian" all we want in other cases, but in this case we're going for people using Christianity to evil ends, whether or not they believed it in their hearts.
