Was Hitler a devoted Christian?

Question

Just wondering....

Answer 1

Hi Sweetie.... actually yes. He was a firm believer of "Positive Christianity" which was the belief that the Jews were directly responsible for the death of Jesus and justifiable for Christians to eradicate as many as possible for their wickedness. (In a nut shell).

Hitler was in fact a devoted Christian and radical at that.

Answer 2

No -- he believed in a sort of racial Social Darwinism- he was opposed to all "Judeo-based" belief systems. Like other social Darwinians like Ayn Rand he despised the idea that the weak should be aided and nurtured. He also took much of his influence from Nietzsche who hated Christianity as a "religion of slaves".
There was a definite occultism and even "New Age" feel the Nazi Movement too.
The SS practiced a form of Pagan Occult ritual including in their marriage cermonies and many leading Nazis were proto-Greens e.g Himmler ran a farm in Bavaria before getting involved, to return to an idealized pre-industrial time.
There is actually historical basis for films like" Raiders of the Lost Ark" in which the SS chief sent out archaeological expeditions seeking artifacts of occultist significance.


He alluded to Christian sentiment in his public persona simply because many German and European Christians feared Communism post 1917. he knew well how to pander to the masses fears for his own gain- those who use those speeches as literal, are falling for the same trick albeit with different result .

Answer 3

He grew to become right into a dependable Christian as long as you probably did as you have been advised. by means of 1939 Hitler and his (cronies) government controlled to have 'knuckled decrease than' the Catholic church and its lay-by means of establishments to the element of them to have no say in any respect anymore in Germany.

Answer 4

He certainly hated Catholics. Catholic priests were treated like the rabbis were in the concentration camps. Hitler (and other crazy dictators - like Kim il-Sung in N. Korea) want to be like God on earth.

Answer 5

I do insist on the certainty that sooner or later – once we hold power – Christianity will be overcome and the German Church established. Yes, the German church, without a Pope …....and Luther, if he could be with us, would give us his blessing.” (Adolf Hitler, Hitler’s speeches, edited by Prof. N.H. Baynes [oxford, 1942], pg. 369.)

Answer 6

No, never was.

Was Hitler a Christian?
By John Baskette - but the information came from Marty Helgesen in a soc.religion.christian post.

The claim is sometimes made that Hitler was a Christian - a Roman Catholic until the day he died. In fact, Hitler rejected Christianity.

The book Hitler's Secret Conversations 1941-1944 published by Farrar, Straus and Young, Inc.first edition, 1953, contains definitive proof of Hitler's real views. The book was published in Britain under the title, _Hitler's Table Talk 1941-1944, which title was used for the Oxford University Press paperback edition in the United States.

All of these are quotes from Adolf Hitler:

Night of 11th-12th July, 1941:

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. (p 6 & 7)

10th October, 1941, midday:

Christianity is a rebellion against natural law, a protest against nature. Taken to its logical extreme, Christianity would mean the systematic cultivation of the human failure. (p 43)

14th October, 1941, midday:

The best thing is to let Christianity die a natural death.... When understanding of the universe has become widespread... Christian doctrine will be convicted of absurdity.... Christianity has reached the peak of absurdity.... And that's why someday its structure will collapse.... ...the only way to get rid of Christianity is to allow it to die little by little.... Christianity the liar.... We'll see to it that the Churches cannot spread abroad teachings in conflict with the interests of the State. (p 49-52)

19th October, 1941, night:

The reason why the ancient world was so pure, light and serene was that it knew nothing of the two great scourges: the pox and Christianity.

21st October, 1941, midday:

Originally, Christianity was merely an incarnation of Bolshevism, the destroyer.... The decisive falsification of Jesus' doctrine was the work of St.Paul. He gave himself to this work... for the purposes of personal exploitation.... Didn't the world see, carried on right into the Middle Ages, the same old system of martyrs, tortures, *******? Of old, it was in the name of Christianity. Today, it's in the name of Bolshevism. Yesterday the instigator was Saul: the instigator today, Mardochai. Saul was changed into St.Paul, and Mardochai into Karl Marx. By exterminating this pest, we shall do humanity a service of which our soldiers can have no idea. (p 63-65)

13th December, 1941, midnight:

Christianity is an invention of sick brains: one could imagine nothing more senseless, nor any more indecent way of turning the idea of the Godhead into a mockery.... .... When all is said, we have no reason to wish that the Italians and Spaniards should free themselves from the drug of Christianity. Let's be the only people who are immunised against the disease. (p 118 & 119)

14th December, 1941, midday:

Kerrl, with noblest of intentions, wanted to attempt a synthesis between National Socialism and Christianity. I don't believe the thing's possible, and I see the obstacle in Christianity itself.... Pure Christianity-- the Christianity of the catacombs-- is concerned with translating Christian doctrine into facts. It leads quite simply to the annihilation of mankind. It is merely whole-hearted Bolshevism, under a tinsel of metaphysics. (p 119 & 120)

9th April, 1942, dinner:

There is something very unhealthy about Christianity (p 339)

27th February, 1942, midday:

It would always be disagreeable for me to go down to posterity as a man who made concessions in this field. I realize that man, in his imperfection, can commit innumerable errors-- but to devote myself deliberately to errors, that is something I cannot do. I shall never come personally to terms with the Christian lie. Our epoch Uin the next 200 yearse will certainly see the end of the disease of Christianity.... My regret will have been that I couldn't... behold ." (p 278)

Answer 7

He most certainly was.
Here is definitive proof;

And the Nazi party was created with christianity as it's basis.
Funny how reality and history trumps lies and obfuscation huh?
Christians constantly accuse Hitler of being a pagan, but here is a direct quote from Adolph proving this is untrue;
“National Socialism is not a cult-movement-- a movement for worship; it is exclusively a ‘volkic’ political doctrine based upon racial principles. In its purpose there is no mystic cult, only the care and leadership of a people defined by a common blood-relationship... We will not allow mystically- minded occult folk with a passion for exploring the secrets of the world beyond to steal into our Movement. Such folk are not National Socialists, but something else-- in any case something which has nothing to do with us. At the head of our programme there stand no secret surmisings but clear-cut perception and straightforward profession of belief. But since we set as the central point of this perception and of this profession of belief the maintenance and hence the security for the future of a being formed by God, we thus serve the maintenance of a divine work and fulfill a divine will-- not in the secret twilight of a new house of worship, but openly before the face of the Lord… Our worship is exclusively the cultivation of the natural, and for that reason, because natural, therefore God-willed. Our humility is the unconditional submission before the divine laws of existence so far as they are known to us men.” -Adolf Hitler, in Nuremberg on 6 Sept.1938.

Answer 8

Yes.
He was a devout Roman Catholic who firmly believed his war of extermination against the Jews was his duty before God.
It's in his writings, and he constantly touted the Christian religion in his speeches, though he didn't go so far as to tell Germans they had to be Catholic.
Read his speeches, Mein Kampf, and Hitler's Table Talk. Those will tell you how he felt about the Christian faith. He was 100% Christian.

Answer 9

Contrary to belief that some would want he was not a Christian.
His party was developed with the occult and numerous documents show he made up his own religion based upon a crusader effect.
The misconception arises because he used the Christian name and Jesus only to get attention.
He also documented his religious zeal on film. It has zero to do with Christianity.
It's too bad many want to condemn Christians for the barbaric acts of one man.
The real proof is documented in archives, not the writings on the internet.
