Answer 1

Yeah, He was a Catholic Christian.

Now whether he was a good Catholic is a different story.

Answer 2

We'll never know for sure. He said and did a lot of contradictory things. He did say he was Catholic. He seems to have made some derogatory statements about Christianity, but whether these indicated he rejected the religion or rejected the Church institutions is hard to say. The SS did wear references to God on their uniform and the overwhelming number of Germans at the time were Christians. Hitler did have an interest in the occult, but so do lots of Christians today... Plenty could be said based on scattered and contradictory evidence.
People who argue that he was an atheist or that he was a Christian are grasping at straws in an attempt to take a cheap shot. As a rule of thumb, any argument comparing the other side to Nazis or Hitler is probably just a low blow and not a very good argument.

Edit: for those passing on the rumor that Hitler was part Jewish- there's no good evidence and just speculation to back that up. http://www.holocaust-history.org/questions/hitler-jewish.shtml
Research shows that although his grandmother was unmarried and didn't reveal the father she did NOT work for a family of Jews as the Jews had been driven from the town long before and only were allowed to return to the town after. It's probably more likely that Hitler was vague about his ancestry because of the history of mental illness in the family.

Answer 3

I'm not suprised to say that he was an aithest.

Hitler made it clear that he “hated Christianity” and was going to eliminate it when the war ended (see Kershaw, 2000). One reason Hitler “hated Christianity” was because he believed that “it had crippled everything noble about humanity” (quoted in Kershaw, 2000, p. 936).

In Hitler’s words “the heaviest blow that ever struck humanity was the coming of Christianity” (Hitler, 1953, p. 6). The Jesuits were “swine,” and all of Christianity was “Jewish Christianity” which was comparable with “Jewish Bolshevism.” Hitler concluded that both were evil and both had to be destroyed (Kershaw, 2000, pp. 330, 488). His reasoning was based on his belief that Christianity was an “illegitimate” Jewish child and, as a Jewish child, was swine like its parent that must be eradicated. Hitler considered Christianity the “invention of the Jew Saul” (Azar, 1990, p. 154).

A major reason Hitler opposed Christianity was because Hitler saw Christianity and Science as diametrically opposed to each other (Azar, 1990, p. 154). He concluded science would win, and the Christian church would eventually in due time be destroyed. Hitler even believed science was the creation of the German race. Hitler was trying to use science — especially Darwinism — to create a utopia on Earth, and he made it absolutely clear that there would be “no place in this utopia for the Christian Churches” in his plans for the future of Germany.

Answer 4

was a Christians and all the people are doing same work as Mr. Hitler are Christians except his children the Jews they are doing different job on the Palestinians this days or this century

Answer 5

Actually no one really knows. Some say he was Catholic BUT while he was in power he burned Bibles, he killed priests and nuns, and he even got into it with the Pope. Not very Catholic. Some say he was Christian but he neevr did say.

*** There is a THEORY that Hitlers Great Grandmother was raped by a Jewish Man and got her pregnant so this gave Hitler Jewish Blood in his Family, and his haterd of Jews ***

- peace in christ -

Answer 6

If a guy kills millions of ppl I bet he is a liar too,
and how can you know his true religion when he was a liar,
I mean if Hitler used to go to church would you call him a Christian?!!!
I would not!

Answer 7

He was a catholic.

During WWI he believed God kept him alive and even spoke to him - he was in a bunker when a voice in his head told him to get out. He promptly did so and moments later the bunker was hit by a shell, killing everyone.

The German people were also very religious - primarily catholic. And it is no coincidence that religious propaganda was used to motivate them.

Answer 8

Yes, he was a Catholic.

I don't think he was a Catholic when he did the killings though.

Answer 9

Maniacs always follow a secret religion, no matter what religion they were born into. I believe Hitler's was "I think I'm Godtarian".

Answer 10

his religion is Catholic, but judging from what he had done, he was never practicing Catholic. he was simply born in that religion.
