There are numerous citations of Hitler's Christian beliefs merged with some Nordic paganism. After the start of the Cold War, American propagandists deliberately lied about the issue of religion and Nazism. Many lied to call Hitler an Atheist.
The truth is that Hitler's Nazis had a list of banned books that either critically examined religion, or promoted Atheism. The goals were to make American Atheists suspects of anti-patriotism and many were reviewed by McCarthy's House Un-American Activities Committee.
The Nazi government banned all of the works of Charles Darwin even though they applied a distorted view of evolution to justify racism. The openly Christian Nazi Government systematically discriminated against atheists and Free Thinkers.
Germany banned the books of Robert G. Ingersoll, famous American Atheist philosopher. They banned and burned Remarque's and Voltaire's books. Nazis also banned Cecil Rhodes, Bertrand Russell, Albert Pike, Carroll Quigley, Charles Bradlaugh, Thomas Henry Huxley defender of Darwin.
Second refutation to the Lie of Hitler being Atheist is:
Hitler entered the Chancellor of the Weimar Republic whose constitution guaranteed freedom of and from religion. Hitler cancelled the secular constitution and established Christianity as the official religion of the Reich. He allowed two sects, Lutheran and Roman Catholic, to whom workers were required to pay tithes. Hitler hated Atheists. He listed them as "anti-social," "pro-Communist," "socialist," and "anarchists." Their common reason for their books to be burned and banned was their open Atheism.
Hitler referred to the Soviet Union as the GODLESS BOLSHEVIKS." That certainly does not sound like an Atheists calling someone else an Atheist.
McCarthy and the John Bircher society was extremely right wing and mirrored many fascist ideas. They were pre-war pro-Nazis. With the Cold War, they adopted the tactic of equating Atheism with Communism, socialism, civil rights, and racial integration of the south.
The reason for this rant was some moron claiming that Hitler was an Atheist. There was not support at all for that lie, but much of Hitler's own words claiming to be Christian, Roman Catholic, and expressing in Mein Kampf his admiration for the way the Church dealt with opposition. When can we put the Hitler being an Atheist LIE to rest?
End of my rant. Merry Christmas Mates (Seas-ghrian aig Geamhradh Shona.) If you are a Gaelic Christian, then I wish you an Nollaig Shona.
