Was Adolf Hitler a Christian?

It doesn't matter.
He was a Christian.
He was an atheist who pretended to be Christian to rally people to him.

Speech of April 12th, 1922:

"My feeling as a Christian points me to my Lord and Saviour as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God's truth, was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passages which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temples the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was His fight for the world against the Jewish poison. Today, after two thousand years with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly then ever before the fact that it was for this that He had to shed His blood upon the Cross. As a Christian I have no duty to be a fighter for truth and justice...And if there is anything which ould demontrate that we are acting rightly it is the distress that dail grows. For as a Christian I have also a duty to my own people."

Convincing right?

From Table Talk, 1941:

"The reason why the ancient world was so pure, light and serene was that it knew nothing of the two greatest scourges: the pox and Christianity."

Ok, so that kinda sounds like he's contradicting himself.

Other than being a madman, was Adolf Hitler a Christian or an atheist? Does it matter?

    hitler was absolutely a christian, no matter what people say. what he did wasnt necissarily because of his religion, but he professed his beliefs in everything from his speeches to mein kampf to his personal writings. he wasnt an atheist and im sick of christians trying to pass him off on us!

    He practiced a Tuetonic Aryanism (paganism) but surrounded himself with Atheists.

    Anyone claiming Hitler was Christian is either dishonest or incredibly naive (foolish)

    THERE SHOULD BE NO QUESTION HERE AT ALL:
    HITLER WAS A CHRISTIAN,
    THE NAZIs WERE A CHRISTIAN MOVEMENT, and
    ANYONE SAYING OTHERWISE IS ATTEMPTING TO REWRITE HISTORY.

    My late mother was a German Language teacher who translated captured NAZI propaganda for the US Army. She found that:
    -- NAZI party meeting minutes often began with a Christian prayer or included the lyrics for a Christian hymn, and they almost always ended with the phrase "In the name of our risen lord and savior,"
    -- The NAZI party printed and distributed Bibles, and named some of its units after biblical characters and bible verse numbers,
    -- The NAZIs hated both atheists and darwinism,
    -- Martin Luther was a major NAZI hero, and
    -- NAZI papers often had a religious page, which featured regular religious columnists who were decidedly Christian.


    [ The reference to Trevor-martin's "HItler's Table Talk" in the introduction to this piece is unfortunate. The book is a known fraud. ]

    You are an idiot.
    (fact) Hitler despised Christianity as "weak and effiminate".
    (fact) Hitler confiscated church property, killed, imprisoned and persecuted Christian clergy
    (fact) Hitler's only religious practice was an occultic form of Tuetonic Pagan Aryanism that he combined with Darwinism and racial Eugenics in his plan to build a master race.
    (fact) Hitler surrounded himself with overt Atheists. Some of his Atheist henchmen strongly advocated banning religion by law, but Hitler was concerned about the political implications ( he was at war with Atheistic Communists and He was peddling occultic Aryanism to build the master race).
    (fact) Hand written records have been uncovered indictating Hitler was planning to ban religion once he won the war.
    (fact) Hitler's conscience was formed by Atheist intellectuals Marx, Darwin, Nitzche.

    Hitler was no Christian. Christianity is not a genetic inheritance.

    Roger, You're a lying idiot. Hitler was obviously not a Christian.
    I demonstrated that fact more than sufficiently.

    You should be ashamed of your crass dishonesty.

    He believed in a very f*cked up, anti-semitic version of christianity. He was born and baptized a catholic so he can officially be considered a christian, but he supported positive christianity, which rejects the old testament, the fact that Jesus was a Jew (he was actually an ayran German hero you guys and went to beat up the Jews duh), and believes that all white protestants should unite together to subjugate the inferior races. That's not Christianity in my book.

    His religious views are very conflicting. I believe that he despised the kindness and acceptance of Jesus and Christianity done right so he twisted it to fit his own evil beliefs.

    But in the end you're right, it doesn't matter what this twisted psychopath believed.

    Btw this is coming from someone he doesn't really believe in god so you can be pretty sure that anyone who argues that hitler was an atheist or that he was a devoted christian is distorting the facts to fit their own world view.

    He was sort of a Christian. He was brought up as a Catholic, attended church with his extremely devoted mother while a child. As I see it though, and I may see it wrong, while he was ruling Germany he didn't really maintain any religious affiliation. Although I'm sure he maintained many Christian views, he also turned to others as well.

    But mostly I think he was batty.

    ". . . while he was ruling Germany he didn't really maintain any religious affiliation. "

    This is just totally wrong. There are multiple NAZI propaganda films, pictures, and newspaper stories about Der Führer attending church. It may not have always been the same branch of Christianity, but it was always a Christian church.

    "As I see it though, and I may see it wrong, while he was ruling Germany he didn't really maintain any religious affiliation."
    I acknowledged the fact that I might see it wrong. So my mistake. What I meant by this statement is that I never really thought that Adolf Hitler came dircetly outright and claimed to be an active member of a church himself. I should have clarified that point.

    He was a nutbag who had a hodge-podge of religious ideas. If I'm remembering correctly, he was into the occult as well as having a fascination with old Germanic gods, especially Wotan (Odin in the Norse Pantheon) on top of espousing some Christian ideas while being highly critical of Christianity, as well.

    There were two kind of "christian" chuches at this time. The one Adolf Hitler belonged to was not really christian. They were the mayority and the supported the nazi regime. Then there was the other chrisitan church which called themself the Confessing Church. they were against the nazi and also stopped they stopped the nazi killing handicapped people
    and later they sufferd political persecution, too.

    Little known fact - Hitler was actually left handed and born in Hawaii - BEFORE it was a state.

    Actually little boy Hitler's mom died. His Dad remarried. And a little later his Dad died. And eventually his step mom remarried. That 'second' dad was named Hitler.
    Little Adolph's original last name was Shicklegruber. It's just hard to visualize thousands of people shouting 'Heil Shicklegruber!'

    Being a non-Jew, non-Muslim, or non-Budhist does not make one a christian. Hitler followed an occult group and was a god onto himself.

    I'm not talking about progressives. That's a label that you're confining to a specific group of people. I'm using the word in a completely different manner.

    Furthermore, if Palin was a man and he was under the same scrutiny would you still defend "him"?

    How did I attack Christians? I asked a straight-forward question with evidence for both answers.

    What the f*ck does the "progressives attacking Palin" thing have to do with me? Am I a progressive? Am I even American? I'm not trying to divert the subject. I'm trying to get some sense through your brick-thick skull.

    Progress is necessary, whether you like it or not.
