He was catholic christain, Here is a passage from his speech about his love for Jesus!
"My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God's truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. 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 for the world against the Jewish poison. To-day, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that He had to shed His blood upon the Cross. As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself 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, in a speech on 12 April 1922 (Norman H. Baynes, ed. The Speeches of Adolf Hitler, April 1922-August 1939, Vol. 1 of 2, pp. 19-20, Oxford University Press, 1942)

Hitler was baptised and raised a Roman Catholic and at one time was an alter boy. He was confirmed at age 13. After that he was not active in the faith.
In 'Mein Kampf' he said ". . . I am convinced that I am acting as the agent of our Creator. By fighting off the Jews, I am doing the Lord's work."
The claims that Hitler was a Jew are unfounded.
#1. Just because his paternal grandfather is unknown does not automatically mean his PG was a Jew. He just as easily could have been a Protestant or Lutheran.
#2. His mother was clearly a Roman Catholic, therefore Hitler could not have been Jewish by birth as that only comes if the mother is Jewish.
#3. There are idiots out there who will believe any kind of story as long as it supports their belief system.

Hitler was born catholic but considered himslef to be an anti-christian, he believed in an 'active deity' he called the creator! He wasn't of full jewish heritage either. Only an eighth if I remember correctly. His second in command did not start the holocaust, besides Hitler was spouting his anti jewish speechs way before the second world war, way before the holocaust.

he was not religious. for some reason some people say he was christian however the fact that he killed almost as many Christians as Jews kind of negates that.
when the death camps were inventoried they found enough B crystals to kill 50 million people and there was only a couple million Jews left in Europe. when the lead death camp leaders memoirs were released it was stated that the goal was to kill something like 5 million people a year with no end game.

Hitler was born a Jew. The only bigger human monster was Stalin with Mao running a close third. Nazi Party was supposed to be a religion. As close to religion as scientology perhaps!

Although he was a Roman Catholic, Hitler was not a Christian.

By his own definition, Hitler was jewish. But that was a VERY loose definition. Something like 1 jewish great-grandparent qualified you as a Jew. I believe he was baptized as a catholic.
He didn't publicly practice any religion

Hitler was actually Jewish, but hid this fact from his ranks. Hitler's second in command actually started the holocaust and it was beyond his control before he realized what was happening.

Hitler was a puppet of the globalists of the time. His religion would subscribe to his paymasters, jesuit/freemasonry/occult etc.
