No. Hitler was raised Catholic, as were most Austrians.
There is some speculation that one of his ancestors was Jewish; a grandmother or great-grandmother, I believe. Given the soap-opera quality of his family history, it's not something to be dismissed out of hand, but it's hard to know for sure.

No, he was baptized as a Roman Catholic. His parents were both Catholics as far as I know. He never practiced Judaism or had any Jewish beliefs. Rumors have surfaced that Adolf Hitler was actually a quarter Jewish, but there is no factual basis to it and it is most likely an urban legend because if he was part Jewish, it would make no sense to kill people with the same heritage. And that wouldn't necessarily make him Jewish because in order to be Jewish, you're mother has to be Jewish, and Hitler's mother was not Jewish. He was a practicing Catholic for most of his life and was never excommunicated from the Catholic Church even after the Holocaust happened. He was a Catholic for all of his life and held Catholic beliefs all of his life.

No. He was raised as a Catholic and claimed himself as a Christian on numerous occasions.
"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." Adolf Hitler, speech on April 12, 1922

Hitler was NOT raised as a Jew. He was raised as a Christian (of course not all Christians reconize Catholics as Christian!!!). He may not have been what some call a "real" Christian, but he was certainly raised in Christian culture and identified with Christianity!
You might compare it to what some people are saying about the U.S. -- that it is a "Christian" nation. Not all Americans are Christian, but the majority religion is Christian and our culture could be considered Christian. Was it our Christian culture that produced some of the recent mass homicides occurring in schools, etc.?

No, he was decidedly catholic, and claimed to be such until the day he died.
If you ever read his book, Mein Kampf, he describes how he hates the Jews and that they were the evil ones who killed Jesus Christ the messiah, and so on.
I have heard that he had relatives who were Jewish, but I don't know the support for that...

No he was not Jewish and he was not a real practicing Christian either. He was actually heavily into the occult. Don't believe me? Do your own research. Google: Hilter and the Occult.

Hitler was a Christian, [Catholic], and he hated the Jews because they say Jesus was not the Christ, Jesus never said he was the king of the Jews, other people said this about him, Jesus was a Hebrew, not a Jew...

He was Catholic. Born. Raised. Died.
He was not a GOOD example of a catholic, but he was never excommunicated.
