what was adolf hitler's religion? is aryan race related to india any way?

Answer 1

Hitler was an evolutionist. Evolution was a fairly new faith, having only been around in any popular form for about 50 years or so.

He believed in the basic evolutionist tenants, survival of the fittest, the strong should devour the weak, and he believed there was an Aryan race which was the most evolved race. The Asians were ape like and the blacks were even more ape like, with the Jews being the most ape like, much less evolved.

Taking evolution to its logical conclusion, he determined to keep the races from mixing which would prevent the next evolutionary advancement. Also, by wiping out the lower forms, starting with the lowest forms, the Jews, he was going to put evolution back on its natural path of advancement.

Stalin also was a strong believer in evolution, and murdered 10 million Soviet citizens as a result. Mao murdered about 80 million Chinese in the name of evolution.

This religion has no basis in science, but because most people working in the sciences were taught to believe in evolution as a fact from birth, it has gained popularity since Hitler's time.

Answer 2

Adolf Hitler was born into a Catholic family and like many an angry disturbed youth turned away from the Church in his teens. As an adult Adolf was outwardly an atheist, he may have humored Himmler by listening to his dissertations about Nordic Gods and Germanic Paganism but in his heart Hitler had little use for established religion, he was more concerned that people accepted Nazism and Cult Worship of Himself, A Hitler. The Aryan Race originated in the Himalaya Mountain region but Hitler felt no tie to India's many religions and was probably secretly horrified to think himself related to brown people. In spite of turning against the Catholic Church, ordering the arrests of priests & nuns, Hitler adopted the Catholic Churches elaborate ceremonies symbolism & ritual and cultivated a relationship with the Pope that allowed many Nazis to escape to South America after the war.

Answer 3

Adolf Hitler was brought up in his family's religion by his Roman Catholic parents. According to historian Bradley F. Smith, Hitler's father, though nominally a Catholic, was a freethinker, while his mother was a practising Catholic. According to historian Michael Rissmann young Adolf was influenced in school by Pan-Germanism and Darwinism and began to reject the Church and Catholicism, protesting against being confirmed by the bishop. A boyhood friend reports that after Hitler had left home, he never attended Mass or received the Sacraments.

He had nothing to do with the aryan race.

Answer 4

Hitler was Austrian and was raised Roman Catholic. However, he believed all forms of Christianity, including catholicism, were part of a Jewish plot to make gentiles weak by teaching them humility and compassion which, according to his twisted logic, made them weak.

He was quite prepared to pretend to be Christian, for public consumption but felt nothing but contempt in private. If he believed in anything it was "providence" - the working of history, which he believed favoured the ruthless who took what they wanted.

The word "aryan" originally meant one of the original languages which later became the languages spoken everywhere from Europe to Northern India and probably arose somewhere near where Iran is now.

Some 19thC cranks claimed that the language had actually been born in Northern Germany (because they were such a "superior race") and over the next few decades this idea swelled to encompass the idea that these Northern Germans were the base of all that was good in European culture and development.

The name "aryan" then came to mean, "blond, blue-eyed, narrow-skulled, strong, ruthless and not-at-all-jewish" germans - a long way from its roots to describe an early language root.

Answer 5

The answer bearstirring gave is very good. I would like to stress that the rumours about a jewish grandparent of Hitler are with very high probability wrong. Hitler planned to let Christian faith sort of die out after he had won the war. Several times he mentioned "destination" (Vorsehung in German). For example he said that destination had saved him from being killed by assassination plans. What the Aryans were is quite unclear. Part of Indoeuropeans probably. Some Christian Nazis taught that Jesus had been Aryan instead of Jewish. Nonsense anyway.

Answer 6

*waves from Vancouver* "Did Adolf Hitler believe deep down interior that the British and the Irish are a severe-high quality Aryan race?" that's close. greater precise exchange into the certainty the Brits have been made up of stable Anglo-Saxon inventory inspired him; a branch from the comparable Nordic Teutonic tree the Aryans got here from. The Brits weren't Aryans, yet of the comparable Anglo-Saxon lineage.

Answer 7

Adolf Hitler drew on heretic christian beliefs and a lot of ancient pagan ways of ancient germany, not really a religion but a cult of germany. He had things of the ancient germans fighting against the romans. He had several pictures depicting him and his followers as crusader teutonic knights. In a way he did have a religion, but it was closer to a worship of him and ancient german ways than a diety.

Several of the aryan symbols did come from asia, particularly the swastika which is ironically a symbol of peace in ancient mongolia. As far as any kind of modern german state claiming heritage from an ancient asiatic steppe people, is mostly false and nazi propaganda.

Answer 8

As far as my reading goes, Hitler had mixed grand-parantage, i.e., his grandfather was a Christian and grandmother Jewish.

Answering the second Q, India's Aryan race yesterday and today is welmixed with rest of the races in India at that time and at these times as well. That's why you find rainbow skins in same families along with various geometrical shapes of noses, jaws, ears, eyes, hair, etc.

Answer 9

Hitler actually came from Austria. So given the timeframe globally and geographically, I'd say Christian or Roman Catholic. The Arian race was of Hitlers own design. Blonde hair, blue eyes...although he had none of these.

He was a truly sick man, who infact hated himself. (He had Jewish blood, grandmother or grandfather, I beleive and was rumored to have had engaged in homosexual acts as a young man).

This explains, minutely, the dementia, the utter nonsensical acts and not only his total hate for the Jews and homosexuals but the very reason he hated himself.

The very sad fact is that a twisted person like that was allowed into power and commit the attrocities he did. It's a testament to us, that carry on...to never allow such things to occur again.

Answer 10

No, aryian is not related to india at all. It's only a demented idea created by Hitler of the perfect "white people". (Blond hair, blue eyes.) He prosecuted anyone who he thought didn't fit that description. He was raised Jewish, and I'm not sure what he was at the end. I don't think he had a religion. Perhaps you could do research on it?
