Why is this video marked as potentially offensive??? It's history. There are more offensive videos on this site than one of historical and cultural value. Why does this video site obstruct this kind of history? It is more relevant today than ever before in a world that is trying to shed itself of beliefs in zombie religions and rapacious gods (yes, the Christian god, too).
You guys,playing hot potato with Hitler again. Wouldn't matter what his beliefs were,he was a megalomaniac with issues and would use any means necessary to achieve his ends. People are either phsychos or not.

Your argument is wholly based on photographs and not logical reasoning. It is consensus that leading Nazis invoked Christianity in order to appeal to the Christian masses and get the voted off the BVP, Zentrum, DNVP and the catholics in order to pass the enabling act. However, after democracy was wiped out in Germany, they began a massive purging of religion from society. This has no mention in this illogical video. The nazis wished to start a "political religion" rather than a supernatural one.
Catholic hierarchy in Holland officially condemned Nazism in 1941 and therefore faced violence and deportation of its priests, along with attacks upon monasteries and Catholic hospitals and the deportation of thousands of Jews to Auschwitz, who had been hiding in the Catholic institutions. The Polish Roman Catholic hierarchy was violently attacked by the Nazis and saw thousands of its clerics sent to concentration camps or simply killed, a famous example of this being Father Kolbe.
"Immediate and unconditional abolition of all religions after the final victory. Out of political considerations the Muslim, Buddhist and Shintoist religion will be spared for the present" - document signed by Hitler in 1943
Because of the long history of Christianity in Germany, Hitler could not attack Christianity as openly as he did Judaism.
Hitler was christian, deal with it. You say christians don't kill christians? Bullshit. The puritans were christian and routinely persicuted other christian denominations from the quakers to protestants. You are committing a no true scottsman fallacy, sporty.
@NUTCASE71733 Hitler was no Christian. He created his own Jesus and his own Bible. He was an Occultist who believed the German race stemmed from a divine race which bred with man.
Don't lie. Isn't that what the the 9th commanment says? Besides, you are using the no true scottsman fallacy, you lose automattically. There's so many denominations of christianity, the idea of a true christian is laughable.
@NUTCASE71733 How many different "theories" of evolution are there? There is only one truth and your right most "Christians" don't get it. Do some research into Nazis and the Occult and quit ya trolling.
There's only one theory of evolution. If you're talking about the big bang, that's cosmology, astronomy, and physics not bilogy. If you're reffering to how life originated, that's chemestry. Evolution only applies to when life already exists and that's it.
Obama visits mosques, does it prove that he's a Muslim? The Pope visited a synagogue recently, does it prove that the Pope is Jewish?
Hitler got married in a secular non-religious ceremony. Those priests in the picture had guns pointing at them. The Nazis murdered 4 million Christians in the Holocaust. Hitler wanted to exterminate the Christian nation of Poland.
The best document of that is Hitlers Table talk book.
Hitler did not care using Gods name,because he was smart enough and he knew if he used Gods name,that it would be much more easier to get more people with him.
@mahender6969 No, we'll simply point out that this is ridiculous propaganda. I suppose that when Obama visits a mosque it proves he's a Muslim, right?
What a load of crap. Can you tell the difference between alliances of convenience and conviction and belief? Can you tell the difference between demagoguery and faith? I suppose you also believe Obama is a Christian because he said so before the election! What an absolute imbecile. I mean you, not Obama : )
Positive Christianity (German: Positives Christentum) was a slogan of Nazi propaganda adopted at the NSDAP congress 1920 to express a worldview which is Christian, confessional, vigorously opposed to the spirit of "Jewish Materialism", and oriented to the principle of voluntary association of those with a common racial-ethnic background
The Christian Identity movement is perhaps one of the most dangerous theological doctrines in America today. It is made all the more dangerous by the fact that so few people even realize that it exists,
much less what exactly it represents. Christian Identity is the dominant theology of many active right-wing Christian groups, including many if not most Ku Klux Klan organizations.
@swilson3d Hitler was a theosophist, he kept a copy of Secret Doctrine by his bedside. He pretended to be a christian in order to deceive ignorant naive masses, in reality he despised christianity because christianity is completely opposite of national socialism and fascism.
@aClockworkBoec Okay, I understand what you are saying about Hitler, but in saying such, you now have said that instead of Hitler being a Christian, the entire rest of the Nazis were Christians that needed to be convinced that Hitler was one of them.
@swilson3d No, read the history. Hitler had a very hard time trying to convince the people that he should be their leader. He spent 9 years dragging through elections, and gradually rose to the position where he had voice majority in the election. He was lying, deceiving, caused problems and acting as solver of those problems.
His hard core supporters were insignificant minority. In order to win the majority to his side, he needed to play the game.

Stalin allowed the Russian Orthodox Church, to operate officially again from 1943 during World War II and after.
Stalin went to Russian Orthodox seminary to be a priest. He persecuted the park of the church that backed the czar/king,but part of the church/priests backed him. He put them in power.
In Stalin's regime the idea was to subsume everything into one centralized aegis, namely the Russian Orthodox Church
Even today, many Chinese people regard Mao as a God-like figure, who led the ailing China onto the path of an independent and powerful nation, whose pictures can expel the evil spirit and bad luck.
Kim Jong-il's official biography claim that his birth at Baekdu Mountain was foretold by a swallow, and heralded by the appearance of a double rainbow over the mountain and a new star in the heavens like Jesus. Defectors have said that North Korean schools deify both father and son,just one short of a trinity
Even today, many Chinese people regard Mao as a God-like figure, who led the ailing China onto the path of an independent and powerful nation, whose pictures can expel the evil spirit and bad luck.
The phrase Long Live Chairman Mao for ten thousand years was commonly heard during the era, which was traditionally a phrase reserved for the reigning Emperor.
Catholics are NOT Christians!! They have many very UN-BIBLICAL doctrines.
These are the same guys that burned Bibles in years past. Kept the Gospel from the people. Tortured and murdered in the most cruel and vile manner imaginable.
@missionarymayn no im afraid it is you who are unchristian. worldy if i whuld accurate. you lean much more to the secural ideas then chatolics. while chatolics.
Thank you for the vid. The only thing that makes me sad is that it is necessary.to make vids like this to show people what they should know from grade school. Athisum was a small movment up untill the 60's and 70's and even then political leaders were and still are expected to desplay their faith. A good example of this is G.W Bush, or the Dali Lama. Hitler was born and raised a christian just like 90% of al other Germans - He want Athiest. However nether belife justified what he did.
@stomecko no im afraid that his private and public dicusions made clear that he was beliver in jesus christ and belived that it was his duty to kill the jews for not exepting the mesiah. he was very much like most of the fundementalist in america to day. G.w Bush is deeply religius and so is Dali lama. your atempt to roll the blame and weakness of christianity to atheists is sickening. it is the very patern of you thouth that is to blame. every historian can tell you that he was deeply religius
@gethsoftware I realize there are some typos in my post but i think you have failed to read or understand what was said. The point being that all political leaders use faith or have faith either in their public persona or in their private lives. The line i believe you failed to understand was this "He want Atheist" - a typo on my part - should have read "wasn't Atheist". So no argument there. However to call him deeply religious is inappropriate. One must only read Mein Kampf to grasp this.
@gethsoftware Now as to any claims that I am a fundamentalist . . . they are ludicrous. I am from a third generation ex-patriot family with Canadian and British heritage, my family are practicing Buddhists and I myself am an Atheist. I'm guessing that you meant the "youth" in your last line. I am not a youth and i am blaming no one for any thing. My point being every one in Germany at that time was a defacto Christian including Mr. Hitler. Oh i gtg to work, have a good one :)
"As a Christian I have no duty to allow my self to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice… And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we are acting rightly it is the distress that daily grows . For as a Christian I have also a duty to my own people." –Adolf Hitler (Norman H. Baynes, ed. The Speeches of Adolf Hitler, April 1922-August 1939, Vol. 1 of 2, pp. 19-20, Oxford University Press, 1942)
1. having or showing unaffected simplicity of nature or absence of artificiality; unsophisticated; ingenuous.
2. having or showing a lack of experience, judgment, or information; credulous: Lonewold so naive she believes everything she reads. She thinks the Nazis were Christians and the Muslims witll be happy with only taking over half of Israel.
@leocat99 1wolf not wold 2 he not she 3 do you have evidence that the nazis were not christian? because this video displayed alot of evidence they were 4 we already sorted out the isreal thing so no arguments there
@lonewolfM16 - Probably the biggest proof was that they grossly violated every commandment and Christian teaching. It's like saying you're a muslim and owning a pork chop stand.
@leocat99 actually christians have been a violent religion for most of their history just look at the inquistion, the invasion of pagan lands, the crusades, ect ect also even during the black plauge christians killed jews blameing them for the plauge christians have hated jews and been violent since the early days of their religion and also the bible itself is full of storys of war and genocide along with slavery, mostly in the old testament but they refrence it as a good thing in the new
@lonewolfM16 - Your getting confused. Just because someone wears a cross around their neck, doesn't make them a Christian. You are also getting your history confused. The Crusades were a response to Islam sweeping across Africa and almost conquering Europe. Look up Charles Martel. Also by comparison, "Christians" (note the quotation marks) have killed far fewer than say, atheist communism. Communism has killed 100 million people in the 20th century alone.
@leocat99 ah no true scotsman fallacy i see, no if someone belives in jesus christ as savior then he is a christian by defention and no the crusades and they were numerous were a response to christian pilgrims not being allowed to visit holy places and the fact that islamic people refused to convert which according to the bible makes them fair target for wars (as is stated in the old testament repeatedly) also by your same argument i could simply say the communists were not atheists cont
@leocat99 for example i could say just claiming you dont belive in god doesnt make you a atheist, you first must accept atheistic ideals mainly freedom of speach and you must support scientific advancement by allowing debate and questioning thus many atheists refer to themselves as free thinkers but the communists were not free thinkings they killed those who disagreed with them thus they are not true atheists of you think your argument is true then mine must also be
@leocat99 no not really. manny of the christian teachings and commands demand the execution of those who are not converted. jesus him self said "those who dont exept me as their king, bring them front of me and bash their heads open". Christianity was based on terror.
@gethsoftware - I'd like to know know which chapter and verse Jesus said that. That's not in my Bible, maybe it's in the Satanic bible. Please quote your source, verse, book and chapter.
Hitler was from the Christian tradition as were the leaders of most of the allies and axis powers (with the exception of the Soviet Union and Japan). Mussolini was a Roman Catholic. Even the Jews that were running Russia used the Orthodox church when it suited them to mobilize the peasants who were largely Christian. The second world war was not a black and white fight between the Christian allies and the anti Christian axis powers.
The extermination of certain people groups is strait from the athiest bible,
by your chief prophet Charley Darwin The Origin of Species By Means of Natural Selection, or, the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life.
Furthermore the catholic church has as much to do with Christianity as evolution has to do with science.
@Ivor7777777 1=1 the ku klux klan is a christian organization thus the burning cross and no evolution sates that genetic diversity is a good thing as it will help a species adapt to changes destroying races destroys genetic diversity and weakens the species as a whole and also the catholic church WROTE THE BIBLE or at least edited and compiled it they were the first christian church so you are right the catholic church does have as much to do with christianity as evolution with science, lots
FYI- the swastika is an ancient symbol in Mayan and Indian culture. The beliefs system in the cultures that used the swastika were more in line with the current new age, globalist, anti-christian, environmentalist, pagan, liberal, darwinian, anti-capitalist crowd that are following the democrats these days.
@lonewolfM16 -true, and also used in the culture of the Mayan (indian) from Central America. You can see the Swastika painted on storefronts in Belize C.A. and other areas in central american with Mayan ancestry. I know, I've been there multiple times over past 5 years. the 4 elements (swastika) have nothing to do with Christianity.
Also, the Catholic church did not write the bible. The bible was complete long before they wrote their version in 3rd centery with the non-inspired Septuigent.
@lonewolfM16 - Yeah Hitler the Jew Killer just like Obama. I guess you don't watch the news much. Go back and watch how Obama was made to look like a fool today in his meeting with the Israeii Prime Minister after his idiotic speech against Israel yesterday. Hitler would have given Obama a medal.
@leocat99 you idiot he is not killing the jews he is trying to make peace in the middle east, its a stupid descion, but he is at least not delibrately trying to hurt the isreali people
@lonewolfM16 - yeah I must be an Idiot and completely clueless when it comes to military tactics. Let's see. We will restrict Israel to an area nine miles wide at their midsection, with countries hostile to them on three sides. The Prime Minister himself said it "ain't gonna happen."
Please do a study on appeasement, especially under the subject of Neville Chamberlain before you write back with a naive simpleton view of how the world really works. You sound like the doofus Obama.
@leocat99 please i admit it is a stupid plan and obama doesnt know what he is doing but i highly doubt he is actively trying to get the isrealis killed that is a big claim and that is why i belive you are a idiot
@lonewolfM16 - I agree with you. I exagerated the Obama is "Killing the Jews" In reality he thinks he is doing a good thing, but he is in way over his head, and if the Israelis did follow his advice, many Jews would be killed.
Fortunately, they have much more wisdom and experience than Obama, and will not let that happen, if they can help it.
@jediguardian1 Did I say I thought Jesus was aryan. I was telling someone else that is what Hitler believed, that doesn't make it true. He can believe whatever nutty shit he wanted and still be a Christian.
This does not prove anything Hitler was raised a christian that does not mean he stayed one, one can always convert or go over to the other side which Hitler clearly did.
Hitler was NOT an atheist.... duh. Where did the rumour he was atheist come from? And what difference would that make? Is it honestly the best refutation of atheism that theists can come up with? I'm not an atheist because of any authority figure. I'm an atheist because I care about what's true and what's not true because the things I believe affect the decisions I make throughout my life.
You can see even in the About Atheism website, on the "Book Notes: The Hitler Myth" article that this rumor had been around since even before he became Fuerer due in large part to the company he kept and the people he entrusted to the leadership positions in the Nazi Party.
even back in 1932 he acknowledged the perception, "Hitler told his audience that while north German Protestants had labeled him a hireling of Rome and south German Catholics a pagan worshipper of Woden..."
"he was merely of the opinion — here playing to some widespread anti-clerical sentiments — that priests in Germany, just as was the case in Italy, should end their political activities and confine themselves to denominational matters and pastoral duties: what the Pope had admitted to in Italy, he concluded, could not be sinful in Germany." Ian Kershaw
@afeeder I think the rumour hitler was atheistic comes from the argument that hitler was using "evolution" however atheistic that is. It's an argument that doen't make any sense, while not only acknowledging evolution but also saying it's evil and then associating atheists to it. It's having a brain only capable of thought to that limited degree. It's hilariously embarrassing to be a part of that camp. Hey chuckleheads evolution is fact and it doesn't matter if Hitler understood that or not.
That wasn't it, at least for the Catholic and Confessing churches.
It is complicated, but in short, for the Catholics, you have to remember that the Catholic Centre Party was Hitler's main political rival before he gained power, and what he wanted (and got) from the Concordat was the dissolution of the party, and no more political involvement by priests, and what they got was recognition + protection of their rights of worship, so they didn't exactly have much trust for each other
Catholics had faced crackdowns on priests by the Nazis as well as the intimidation of various vocal Catholics (the leader of Catholic Action was murdered during the "Night of the Long Knives"), and then the concordat was violated "almost immediately", so many people thought Hitler had it in for their Church, and consequently must be an atheist. To get more of a feel, you can read the protest letters sent to the Nazis from the Pope and clerics that were quoted in Nuremberg
for both the Catholic Church and Confessing Church, Hitler's support for Rosenberg's Positive Christianity (which Rosenberg meant to contrast with "negative Christianity" like the Catholic and Evangelical Churches) was viewed very negatively, especially since Rosenberg was popularly considered to be a Pagan. So was the appointments of atheists to lead Hitler's Youth, who would be entrusted with indoctrinated the children.
Nolgthorn asked where the rumor that Hitler was an atheist came from, I pointed out that his religious convictions had long been questioned when he was a public figure, and that he had publically acknowledged (and tried to downplay) the Catholic rumors that he was into Paganism before he even took office, so it wasn't something that suddenly popped up.
@Humberto4790 It is not "Catholics and Christians worship in different ways", it's "the different denominations of Christians (Catholics, Protestants, Baptists, Methodists, etc) worship in different ways". Catholicism is not a different religion, it's a denomination, just like all the other Christians.
He was baptized Catholic as an infant, but stopped attending church when he left home. The denomination the nazis started was the Protestant Reich Church.
@afeeder you culd say that. hitler actively atented protestant church. but he seemed to continue to support the chatolic church, and spred its ideas like the anti-semitism.
He didn't "actively attend" a church by any means; he visited a few in his career when he was meeting people who were at the churches, but this was very rare. He did not go to church services since he left his parents' home as a teen according to historian Michael Rissman.
"seemed to continue to support the chatolic church"
No he didn't, he attacked it. That is why the Church was willing to dissolve its political party in order to sign the Reichskonkordat with him.
to quote the lead Vatican official (and future pope) in an interview after he signed to the concordat, that while the Germans were certain to violate the agreement, "the Germans would probably not violate all the articles of the Concordat at the same time"
Of course Hitler wasnt an atheist..but even if he was, I would still be an atheist. Im an not an atheist because someone famous or infamous is atheist. Nope. Im an atheist because there is no credible or rational proof that gods or goddesses exist anywhere beyond the human imagination.
I wonder if Hitler's "thousand year reich" had anything to do with the notion of the thousand year rule of Jesus that many protestant nominations believe in. I guess it is a coincidence, but it is interesting.
All statistics show that ther was a correlation in Germany between prostestantism and nazism, and that catholic areas were not very nazi.
Although some corrupt catholic bishops supported the regime, most of them rejected it. The POPE wrote an encyclical called Mit brennender Sorge, condemning nazism as Pagan.
Hitler killed many catholic oppositors, including TWO saints: Edith Stein and Maximilen Kolbe.
Your kind is always hating on Gemany. Are you aware the Jews wrote the bible, brought monotheism into the world, and a religious prophecy that tells them to summon judgement on all humanity? "Peace and freedom will than come into the world when those who profit off war will have finally been deprived of the chance to set the peoples of the world against one another. Who here is aware, that without the solution to the Jewish problem, there is no salvation for humanity!" - Julius Streicher
"Going to church makes you a Christian as much as going to McDonalds makes you a hamburger!" Keith Green. Just because someone goes to church it doesn't mean they are Christians. A Christian is someone who takes on the name of Jesus, has been saved by Him and is born-again! Hitler had many evangelical Christians executed because true Christians didn't agree with his Nazism, murder etc. Going to church was just a cover for his evil deeds!
Hitler didn't go to church services, he stopped in WWI according to his OSS profile, if not before. He only went to churches for ceremonies (churches were the largest building in many, if not most towns) , and even tried to avoid that at times.

Many of the quotations used to assert Hitler's anti-Christianitn are from the Genoud-Trevor-Roper translationof "Hitler's Table Talk". The English edition is actually a poor translation of Genoud's French instead of the German original. The anti-Christian quotes are not in the original German text, that the French of Genoud is fraudulent, so that no one who quotes this text is quoting what Hitler actually said
"The anti-Christian quotes are not in the original German text,"
Actually a few (but not most) of them remain. Carrier, whose position you seem to be regurgitating, explained them away as Hitler criticizing Catholicism rather than Christianity as a whole
So,you're saying Carrier's (and others) point is correct, that reading the German version, and not the French translation,or English translations from the French version is actually quite different. The German version does not have the most oft repeated criticisms of Christianity (some remain- as there's more than one "Christianity")
"Christianity is an invention of sick brains: one could imagine nothing more senseless, nor any more indecent way of turning the idea of the Godhead into a mockery.... .... When all is said, we have no reason to wish that the Italians and Spaniards should free themselves from the drug of Christianity. Let's be the only people who are immunised against the disease"
"Christianity is a rebellion against natural law, a protest against nature. Taken to its logical extreme, Christianity would mean the systematic cultivation of the human failure"
"The reason why the ancient world was so pure, light and serene was that it knew nothing of the two great scourges: the pox and Christianity"
"There is something very unhealthy about Christianity"
"National Socialism and religion cannot exist together.... The heaviest blow that ever struck humanity was the coming of Christianity. Bolshevism is Christianity's illegitimate child. Both are inventions of the Jew. The deliberate lie in the matter of religion was introduced into the world by Christianity.... Let it not be said that Christianity brought man the life of the soul, for that evolution was in the natural order of things"
lol Hitler loved so much his enemies that he killed them, cuz obviously they were all family descendants from Adan. But he did't found a Christian church so he went to the Catholic one lol

Christianism is the Christian analogue to Islamism, a doctrine about using Islam as the basis for government. Also known as Christian Nationalism, it is a blend of extremist religion and even more extreme nationalism, going well beyond both. It has occurred in many nations: America through most of its history, the Confederate South, and Nazi Germany are prominent examples. It varies according to the nationalism of each nation, but it the nature of the Christianity is often consistent
The Christian Identity movement, is perhaps one of the most dangerous theological doctrines in America today. It is made all the more dangerous by the fact that so few people even realize that it exists, much less what exactly it represents. Christian Identity is the dominant theology of many active right-wing Christian groups, including many if not most Ku Klux Klan organizations
Hitler didn't have homosexuals killed and attack abortion because he thought those practices were immoral. He did it because being gay and aborting an unborn baby prevents people from having (a) child(ren), and Hitler wanted what? A "perfect" society where only "Aryans" (blond-haired and blue-eyed) were citizens. So in his mind, wouldn't homosexuals be useless to society since they can't procreate. Let's see, yes. Same with having abortions. Although this didn't pertain to Jews, Slavs, etc.
It is not true that only Christians perform "christian" weddings. Other people do as well. Besides that, there are many religions that are christian like, without actually being Christian,
This video only proves that the Nazis had links to catholism - and that's not Christianity. Hitler actually hated Christians. Hitler also was a good friend to Mufti of Jerusalem, they both had similar ideas about the Jews.
For a number of convenient reasons anybody can claim to be "christian" or a "believer". The scriptures say that "even the demons believe there is a God" (James 2:19) But doesn't it make sense that a what makes a Christian is the practice of the Gospel of Christ? No part in the Gospel calls people to do the injustices done by some so-called Christians. "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the WILL OF MY FATHER..." (Matthew 7:21)

The Nazi Party almost certainly wouldn't have acquired power in Germany if it had not been for the fact that their social and cultural views meshed so well with those of conservative Christians in Germany. The Nazi Party critiqued the same things about the Weimar Republic as conservatives did. They promoted an ideological vision that almost perfectly matched what conservative Christians wanted
Before the Nazis took power in Germany, conservative Christians were actively engaged in defending German Christian culture against the dangers of modernism, secularism, and communism. They insisted that Christianity be the basis for politics and culture; moreover, they were determined to protect society from anti-Christian influences. Does this sound familiar?
The Nazis didn’t run as anti-Christian, but as more Christian than everyone else. They, too, adopted positions attacking homosexuality, divorce, and abortion. They, too, insisted that Germany’s Christian culture needed to be fostered and protected. Christians like those in the Catholic Center Party helped pave the way for Nazism. Is there any danger that conservative Christians in modern America might end up doing something similar?
The Baptist General Convention of Missouri showed at Columbia, Missouri, the one-hour documentary 'Theologians Under Hitler.' Based on the book Betrayal: German Churches and the Holocaust, it examines the relationship between Christian theologians and the Nazis, something which most Christians are unaware of or in denial about
Secular schools can never be tolerated because such schools have no religious instruction, and a general moral instruction without a religious foundation is built on air; consequently, all character training and religion must be derived from faith ...we need believing people.

All this b.s. about oh Muslims are the most cruel savages, but come one I wish some of these twits would take their heads out of their you know what and read a book for once and one that is "objective"... Look at all the tens of millions of people sweet Christians have murdered in history (crusades, pretty much genocide of north and south America, the WWI & WWII, Slavery it existed before but the sweet Christians really made it their own, etc.). Am I wrong or didn't Jesus preach peace?
Just because you wear a crucifix around your neck and attend church doesn't make christian. For all I know those symbols could mean something totally different. For ex. the peace sign.
but who am I to say whether Adolf Hitler was or was not a Atheists.(I barely know the man)
Note: I do believe Adolf Hitler was not Atheist until proven wrong though.
@qaplatlhinganmaH I can claim to be a muslim but not live the life style. Hitler claim to be a christian but believed his Ideology was superior then any deity. One claims to follow a religion, but as they say action speaks louder then words. Seeing as Hitler order millions of innocent deaths. I would say he's more along the lines of an anti christ.

Just because Hitler wore crosses and claimed to be a Christian, that does not mean he was one. If I dress up as a leprachaun and claim to be a leprachaun, that will not automatically make me a leprachaun. There is recorded proof of the Nazis removing crosses from church buildings and celebrating neo-pagan festivals. I must also note that I know no Christians who respect Hitler but I have known some atheists who respect Hitler.
@EmperorOfEditing Hitler was a christian so was are the people of the KKK and neo nazi movement just ask them. Some of the most evil people in history are theists look at the taliban and Yahweh's disciples Most come from the abrahamic religions there is lots of bloodshed cause by them accepted it Hitler was a christian extremist.
Even if they were atheist, so what. It wasnt because of atheism that they were totalitarian and committed atrocities so its a moot point anyway. So the argument cant even really be made for communists either. Actually, this video is kind of validating that wrongful conclusion by theists to begin with.
Anyway, I've never really thought it mattered particularly much whether Hitler was religious or not as the majority of his soldiers that actually committed the atrocities he ordered WERE christians.

The Christian Identity movement is perhaps one of the most dangerous theological doctrines in America today.

Christian Identity is the dominant theology of many active right-wing Christian groups, including many if not most Ku Klux Klan organizations

You're simply ridiculous. Crosses and churches do NOT a "Christian" make, especially when they murder 6,000,000 Jews simply because they were Jews. REAL Christians love and help Jews, not attempt to exterminate them.
Get a life. You obviously have none to speak of at this time.
@tigerlilly66 If there really was a definition of a "real christian" there wouldn't be some 30,000+ denominations of christianity,each with their own interpretation of the bible,disagreeing even on the basic tenets of faith - all of them considering themselves to be the "real Christians" and their teachings "the one true faith"...but there are. All of them believe that they are REAL Christians,and Adolf Hitler was no different.
Whether that played any part in history is another matter.
Okay...so that is the point of the video. Does this knowledge make one iota of difference in how we view the Nazis? So because they were marginally "religious", it's warm and fuzzy time? It is oh SO much better to be murdered by by "religious" thugs than it is a mean-spirited atheist!
Please tell me you're not buying any of this, because if you are, you are just as hopeless as the truly Bizarre Child who got all of this started!
"Does this knowledge make one iota of difference in how we view the Nazis?"
Wow, way to go on missing the blindingly obvious point on this one. This knowledge, as shown in the video and clearly stated by people here, is set to change how we view Atheists. It counter's the fallacious claim against atheism by so many theologians that the Nazi regime was one of atheistic belief. That is a factually incorrect belief. Nazism was the Crusades of modern times, before the War on Terror.
How funny...it is YOU that "cannot see the forest for the trees"! So as you contend, the Nazis were NOT atheistic makes all the murders and destruction a better and more acceptable way to go? SO WHAT if they fancied themselves the reincarnation of an ancient Germanic "god"? The bottom line is that they were still butchers, killers, and vermin of the worst sort. You feel vindicated by your position. If this isn't re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, NOTHING is!
I say again...SO WHAT? So the Nazis were "religious", not atheists! SO WHAT?
Your strain at a gnat and swallow a CAMEL in making a point NO ONE cares about. Whatever their "religious" bent or otherwise, the Nazis were thugs, murderers, thieves, liars, and the list goes on.
I guess you feel vindicated by this information that changes nothing. The ink on the Nazis has been dry in the history books for over 60 years and will not be altered by your astounding revelations!
Why is this video marked as potentially offensive??? It's history. There are more offensive videos on this site than one of historical and cultural value. Why does this video site obstruct this kind of history? It is more relevant today than ever before in a world that is trying to shed itself of beliefs in zombie religions and rapacious gods (yes, the Christian god, too).

Your argument is wholly based on photographs and not logical reasoning. It is consensus that leading Nazis invoked Christianity in order to appeal to the Christian masses and get the voted off the BVP, Zentrum, DNVP and the catholics in order to pass the enabling act. However, after democracy was wiped out in Germany, they began a massive purging of religion from society. This has no mention in this illogical video. The nazis wished to start a "political religion" rather than a supernatural one.

Catholic hierarchy in Holland officially condemned Nazism in 1941 and therefore faced violence and deportation of its priests, along with attacks upon monasteries and Catholic hospitals and the deportation of thousands of Jews to Auschwitz, who had been hiding in the Catholic institutions. The Polish Roman Catholic hierarchy was violently attacked by the Nazis and saw thousands of its clerics sent to concentration camps or simply killed, a famous example of this being Father Kolbe.

You can see even in the About Atheism website, on the "Book Notes: The Hitler Myth" article that this rumor had been around since even before he became Fuerer due in large part to the company he kept and the people he entrusted to the leadership positions in the Nazi Party.
even back in 1932 he acknowledged the perception, "Hitler told his audience that while north German Protestants had labeled him a hireling of Rome and south German Catholics a pagan worshipper of Woden..."

That wasn't it, at least for the Catholic and Confessing churches.
It is complicated, but in short, for the Catholics, you have to remember that the Catholic Centre Party was Hitler's main political rival before he gained power, and what he wanted (and got) from the Concordat was the dissolution of the party, and no more political involvement by priests, and what they got was recognition + protection of their rights of worship, so they didn't exactly have much trust for each other

Catholics had faced crackdowns on priests by the Nazis as well as the intimidation of various vocal Catholics (the leader of Catholic Action was murdered during the "Night of the Long Knives"), and then the concordat was violated "almost immediately", so many people thought Hitler had it in for their Church, and consequently must be an atheist.

@Humberto4790 It is not "Catholics and Christians worship in different ways", it's "the different denominations of Christians (Catholics, Protestants, Baptists, Methodists, etc) worship in different ways". Catholicism is not a different religion, it's a denomination, just like all the other Christians.

@afeeder you culd say that. hitler actively atented protestant church. but he seemed to continue to support the chatolic church, and spred its ideas like the anti-semitism.

He didn't "actively attend" a church by any means; he visited a few in his career when he was meeting people who were at the churches, but this was very rare. He did not go to church services since he left his parents' home as a teen according to historian Michael Rissman.
"seemed to continue to support the chatolic church"
No he didn't, he attacked it. That is why the Church was willing to dissolve its political party in order to sign the Reichskonkordat with him.

Of course Hitler wasnt an atheist..but even if he was, I would still be an atheist. Im an not an atheist because someone famous or infamous is atheist. Nope. Im an atheist because there is no credible or rational proof that gods or goddesses exist anywhere beyond the human imagination.

I wonder if Hitler's "thousand year reich" had anything to do with the notion of the thousand year rule of Jesus that many protestant nominations believe in. I guess it is a coincidence, but it is interesting.

All statistics show that ther was a correlation in Germany between prostestantism and nazism, and that catholic areas were not very nazi.
Although some corrupt catholic bishops supported the regime, most of them rejected it. The POPE wrote an encyclical called Mit brennender Sorge, condemning nazism as Pagan.
Hitler killed many catholic oppositors, including TWO saints: Edith Stein and Maximilen Kolbe.

A Christian is someone who takes on the name of Jesus, has been saved by Him and is born-again! Hitler had many evangelical Christians executed because true Christians didn't agree with his Nazism, murder etc. Going to church was just a cover for his evil deeds!

Hitler didn't go to church services, he stopped in WWI according to his OSS profile, if not before. He only went to churches for ceremonies (churches were the largest building in many, if not most towns) , and even tried to avoid that at times.

Many of the quotations used to assert Hitler's anti-Christianitn are from the Genoud-Trevor-Roper translationof "Hitler's Table Talk". The English edition is actually a poor translation of Genoud's French instead of the German original. The anti-Christian quotes are not in the original German text, that the French of Genoud is fraudulent, so that no one who quotes this text is quoting what Hitler actually said

So,you're saying Carrier's (and others) point is correct, that reading the German version, and not the French translation,or English translations from the French version is actually quite different. The German version does not have the most oft repeated criticisms of Christianity (some remain- as there's more than one "Christianity")
So, my point stands as true/correct.

Christianism is the Christian analogue to Islamism, a doctrine about using Islam as the basis for government. Also known as Christian Nationalism, it is a blend of extremist religion and even more extreme nationalism, going well beyond both.

Hitler didn't have homosexuals killed and attack abortion because he thought those practices were immoral. He did it because being gay and aborting an unborn baby prevents people from having (a) child(ren), and Hitler wanted what? A "perfect" society where only "Aryans" (blond-haired and blue-eyed) were citizens. So in his mind, wouldn't homosexuals be useless to society since they can't procreate. Let's see, yes. Same with having abortions. Although this didn't pertain to Jews, Slavs, etc.

It is not true that only Christians perform "christian" weddings. Other people do as well. Besides that, there are many religions that are christian like, without actually being Christian,
This video only proves that the Nazis had links to catholism - and that's not Christianity. Hitler actually hated Christians. Hitler also was a good friend to Mufti of Jerusalem, they both had similar ideas about the Jews.

For a number of convenient reasons anybody can claim to be "christian" or a "believer". The scriptures say that "even the demons believe there is a God" (James 2:19) But doesn't it make sense that a what makes a Christian is the practice of the Gospel of Christ? No part in the Gospel calls people to do the injustices done by some so-called Christians. "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the WILL OF MY FATHER..." (Matthew 7:21)

The Nazi Party almost certainly wouldn't have acquired power in Germany if it had not been for the fact that their social and cultural views meshed so well with those of conservative Christians in Germany. The Nazi Party critiqued the same things about the Weimar Republic as conservatives did. They promoted an ideological vision that almost perfectly matched what conservative Christians wanted

Before the Nazis took power in Germany, conservative Christians were actively engaged in defending German Christian culture against the dangers of modernism, secularism, and communism. They insisted that Christianity be the basis for politics and culture; moreover, they were determined to protect society from anti-Christian influences. Does this sound familiar?
qaplatlhinganmaH 1 year ago
The Nazis didn’t run as anti-Christian, but as more Christian than everyone else. They, too, adopted positions attacking homosexuality, divorce, and abortion. They, too, insisted that Germany’s Christian culture needed to be fostered and protected. Christians like those in the Catholic Center Party helped pave the way for Nazism. Is there any danger that conservative Christians in modern America might end up doing something similar?
