He said in a speech delivered April 12, 1922:
"In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was his fight against the Jewish poison."

On July 11, 1941, Hitler said, "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."
Automatic excommunication happens when Catholics commit certain offensives. This happens as soon as the offense is committed.
Adolf Hitler committed the following offenses resulting in automatic excommunication:
- Apostasy - the formal renunciation of one's religion. Hitler specifically rejected the Catholic Church, as well as Christianity in general. He described himself as "a complete pagan.”
- Heresy - a doctrine in theology, religion, philosophy, or politics at variance with those of the Catholic Church. Nazism is definitely heretical to Christianity.
With love in Christ.

Here's the problem, in Hitler's personal diary, he writes of a strong catholic belief that he is doing God's work in killing off the Jews, other times he writes of the occult, and other times of atheism. The man was really very insane. Don't make a bet with your buddy, Hitler supposedly repented, confessed and received last rites before he died. You can't go by anything that poor crazed man said. I believe that he was Catholic and believed in what he was taught. I believe that when he had a crisis of faith, his own self-doubt and self-loathing made him feel worse than the crisis of faith would have otherwise. If you look hard enough,you will find quotations that seem to be atheist. But in all actuality, he was a very ill man.

HItler was a Nazi and a Fascist.
HItler thought he was Christ.
The Nazi's taught that the Third Reich would last a thousand years, which was an obvious reference to the Millenial Kingdom, in the Book of Revelation.
Hitler hated the Pope and the Catholic Church. He ordered the German commander in Rome to kidnap the Pope and to confiscate all the Vatican possessions, but the order was never carried out.
Hitler was worse than an atheist. He was anti-christ.

Hitler was very interested in all religions. People look at Hitler as a stupid, crazy man in which he was very smart and well educated. He never touched a drop of alcohol his whole life. He was almost a complete vegetarian only eating meat on certain occasions. There is more to the man than many will ever know or think. Crazy perhaps a bit to extreme. Evil is probably the best word here. Peace out...........

If Hitler was a "practicing" Catholic then he would not have been able to perhaps do what he did. However there are many followers in the churches that are not true believers of Christ. Even Judas who was one of the 12 who sat and listened and watched and learned just as the others did was able to turn his back on God and betray Jesus. Just because people claim to be " religious" does not mean that they are true believers and followers of God. We can tell by the fruits that they produced, so obviously Hitler produced rotten fruit which shows us all where his heart was.

He wasn't an atheist, that passage says itself, "In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read" Now to go into grammer... the I refers to the one whose reading in boundless love as a Christian and as a man, therefore Hitler believes he is a Christian. He was probably some sort of protestant, but I refuse to judge a whole group of people on one evil persons bad deeds, so whether he be atheist or protestant, it doesn't really matter, he's dead as is his mission.

Hitler was a weird mix of the occult and Christianity. The History Channel runs a documentary on it fairly regularly. He was not an atheist at all.

Hmmm, I don't know. I always thought Hitler was just delusional. Have you tried doing some research on the guy? I'm sure it will tell somewhere if he was an atheist.

Here are a bunch of quotes from Hitler about God.

He was not an atheist.
(Not that it really should matter. He was NOT a representative of ANY religion or belief system other than his own. He was a monster. Period.)
