What was Adolf Hitler's religion?

Answer 1

Nazism was his religion.

Answer 2

Synopsis from Wiki: "Adolf Hitler was brought up in his family's religion by his Roman Catholic parents, but as a school boy he began to reject the Church and Catholicism. After he had left home, he never attended Mass or received the Sacraments.

In later life, Hitler's religious beliefs present a discrepant picture: In public statements, he frequently spoke positively about the Christian heritage of German culture and belief in Christ. Hitler’s private statements, reported by his intimates, are more mixed, showing Hitler as a religious but also anti-Christian man. However, in contrast to other Nazi leaders, Hitler did not adhere to esoteric ideas, occultism, or neo-paganism, and ridiculed such beliefs in his book Mein Kampf. Rather, Hitler advocated a "Positive Christianity", a belief system purged from what he objected to in traditional Christianity, and reinvented Jesus as a fighter against the Jews.[citation needed]

Hitler believed in a Social Darwinist struggle for survival between the different races, among which the "Aryan race" was supposed to be the torchbearers of civilization and the Jews as enemies of all civilization. Whether his anti-semitism was influenced by older Christian ideas remains disputed. Hitler also strongly believed that "Providence" was guiding him in this fight.

Among Christian denominations, Hitler favoured Protestantism, which was more open to such reinterpretations, but at the same time imitated some elements of Catholic church organization, liturgy and phraseology in his politics."

Answer 3

I think Hitler created his own religion however I'm not for sure, it just appears that way. Then again how can anyone be sure unless they were there to witnesses it. Anyone can write something down and claim it to be fact when in reality it's their personal opinion, heard through the "grape vine", or an attempt to manipulate or destroy! Thus I leave you with a quote by TuPac..."Don't believe everything you read"...and my own philosophy.What I know is what I've seen, and what I've seen matches not with what I've heard.

Answer 5

Hitler's former lawyer, Hans Frank, claimed that Hitler told him in 1930 that one of his relatives was trying to blackmail him by threatening to reveal his alleged Jewish ancestry. Frank's allegations have vexed historians ever since. The distinguished Hitler scholar Werner Maser was so irritated he claimed Frank made the whole thing up. Others think Frank was telling the truth but that the research he did for Hitler was faulty.

Answer 6

Adolf Hitler CLAIMED to be Christian, however, the dictator himself also claimed that you could not be "Loyal to both God and Germany". Personally, I think the guy thought of himself as divine.

Answer 7

I think that Hitler was not an atheist, but he was not a Christian either. While he was materialist and rationalist in a lot of things, he also talked a lot about "Providence", or "Nature", as a sort of mystical force of fate, and he saw himself as somehow destined for victory even when the war was going badly for him, simply because of the purity of his purpose, his strength of will, and his feeling of destiny. I have even read that he believed in reincarnation. To me, some of his quotes and writings make it sound like he worshipped the German national identity; some make it seem like instead of God he worshipped or idealised or divinised Providence / Nature / Fate, with his glorious destiny assured no matter what; and in some ways it seems to me like he worshipped himself.

Answer 8

A non practicing catholic. His mother was catholic and he does not know his father. If he was a Jew would he allowed the pogroms and the extermination of more than 6 million Jews? In the Second World War he respected the inviolability of the Vatican and in the occupied countries the catholic clergy was generally ignored by the German troops .

Answer 9

His was a strange amalgamation of occultism and mysticism.

If you need proof, it's easy to find just how obsessed Hitler, Himmler, and the other Nazi party apparatchiks were with the occult.

Answer 10

Whatever he was, Hitler was no friend to Christianity. Christians were persecuted for helping the Jews.

Answer 11

Hitler regarded himself as a Catholic until he died. "I am now as before a Catholic and will always remain so," he told Gerhard Engel, one of his generals, in 1941.
