You are correct. Hitler was NOT Christian. Yes he was raised in Cathlic school, but not everyone who is raised in Catholic school or in a Christian home grows up to be a Christian. He was no Christian. He was a Pagan , Evolutionist.There is plenty of evidence to prove the fact but the Christ haters just love to say that he was.
Adolph Hitler said that Christianity would be uprooted, root and branch" and that he would destroy it all. Hitler declared his antipathy to the faith: "The heaviest blow that ever struck humanity was the coming of Christianity. Bolshevism is Christianity's illigitimate child. Both are inventions of the Jew."1 Himmler, the ruthless head of the Gestapo, said,"We shall not rest untill we have rooted out Christianity". William Shirer , wasa journalist who covered the Nazi regime and wrote The Rise And Fall Of The Third Reich, said: The Nazi regime intended eventually to destrot Christianity in Germany,if it could, and substitute the old paganism ofthe early Germanic gods and the new paganism of the Nazi extremists."2 So in the German churches, the Bible at the alter was replaced with Mein Kampf, and the crosses atop steeples were replaced by swastikas. Hitler himself said that he and the Nazi Party were fighting against"the God of the deserts, that crazed stupid, vengful Asiatic despot with his powers to make laws!....That poison with which both Jews have spoiled and soiled the free, wonderful instincts of man and lowered them to the level of doglike fight."
Hitler, Darwinism and the Holocaust
• Darwin's idea that evolution means "the preservation of favored races in the struggle for life" eventually led to Nazism and the Jewish holocaust- even though Darwin himself would have been appalled at the thought."[17]
• In Mein Kampf (My Struggle), Hitler used the German word for evolution (Entwicklung) many times, citing "lower human types." He criticized the Jews for bringing "Negroes into the Rhineland" with the aim of "ruining the white race by the necessarily resulting bastardization." He spoke of "Monstrosities halfway between man and ape" and lamented the fact of Christians going to "Central Africa" to set up "***** missions," resulting in the turning of "healthy . . . human beings into a rotten brood of bastards." In his chapter entitled "Nation and Race," he said, "The stronger must dominate and not blend with the weaker, thus sacrificing his own greatness. Only the born weakling can view this as cruel, but he, after all, is only a weak and limited man; for if this law did not prevail, any conceivable higher development (Hoherentwicklung) of organic living beings would be unthinkable." A few pages later, he said, "Those who want to live, let them fight, and those who do not want to fight in this world of eternal struggle do not deserve to live."[3]
• When Hitler came to power in 1933, he installed a dictatorship with one agenda: enactment of his radical Nazi racial philosophy built on Darwinian evolution. He sought, in Darwin's terms, to preserve the "favored" race in the struggle for survival. Brute strength and intelligence would be the driving force of the Nazi plan.[35]
• The first task was to eliminate the weak and those with impure blood that would corrupt the race. These included the disabled, ill, Jews, and Gypsies. Second, the Nazis sought to expand Germany's borders in order to achieve more living space, or "Lebensraum," to make room for the expansion of the "favoured" race. Third, the Nazis set about to eliminate communism because of its threat to the Aryan race and because, according to Hitler, communism was the work of Bolshevik Jews.[35]
• The plan quickly unfolded. An order to sterilize some 400,000 Germans was issued within five months of Hitler's rise to power. The order, set to take effect on January 1, 1934, listed nine "categories of the unfit" to be sterilized: feebleminded, schizophrenia, manic depression, Huntington's chorea, epilepsy, hereditary body deformities, deafness, hereditary blindness, and alcoholism. The Nuremberg Laws were passed in 1935 to prohibit marriage between Jews and Germans and to strip Jews of their German citizenship.[35]
• Instead of letting chance factors dominate reproduction decisions, Hitler proposed that the scientists use the power of the state to influence these decisions so that the gene pool would shift to what “informed conclusions” concluded was the desired direction. Consequently, Hitler encouraged those individuals that he perceived as having Aryan traits to mate, and discouraged “interbreeding,” supposing that this policy would gradually cause the Aryan race to evolve “upward”. He believed that the Nazi race programs would further evolution by intelligently deciding which traits were not beneficial, and preventing those with them from reproducing.[17]
• The Nazis established eugenic courts to ensure that the eugenic laws were enforced. To identify the unfit, German eugenicists compared the individual health files of millions of Germans with medical records from hospitals and the National Health Service. The American firm, IBM, aided the effort by automating a national card file system that cross-indexed the defective.[35]
• After Hitler invaded Poland in 1939, the Nazis became even more aggressive toward the weak. Approximately 100,000 Germans, labeled "useless eaters" by the Nazis, were killed. The victims were patients in nursing homes and medical facilities, as well as Jewish mentally disturbed and disabled. The Nazis ordered all of these exterminated. Ultimately, some 11 million people (and possibly more), six million from Jewish descent, were killed by the Nazi death machine.[35]
• An important argument that Hitler used to support his programs of racial genocide of the Jews, Blacks and other groups was that they were genetically “inferior” and that their interbreeding with the superior Aryan race would adversely affect the latter's gene pool, polluting it, and lowering the overall quality of the "pure race."[17]
• "Richard Weikart, author of From Darwin to Hitler, outlines in simplified fashion the route from Darwin to Hitler: First, Darwinism undermined traditional morality and the value of human life. Then, evolutionary progress became the new moral imperative. This aided the advance of eugenics, which was overtly founded on Darwinian principles. Some eugenicists began advocating euthanasia and infanticide for the disabled. On a parallel track, some prominent Darwinists argued that human racial competition and war are part of the Darwinian struggle for existence. Hitler imbibed these social Darwinist ideas, blended in virulent anti-Semitism, and-there you have it: Holocaust."[35]
• "The Darwin-driven Nazi Holocaust illustrates what can happen when man forgets and rejects God. When that happens, a vacuum is created into which many false, foolish, and fatal ideas can come rushing in. When He who gave mankind the true Tree of Life is rejected, error and infamy can quickly follow."[35]

Firstly; Hitler was raised in Austria from Catholic parents. Hitler was not a Catholic himself. Hitler pursued the Nordic religion of the Nordic gods. The SS symbol used by the Gestapo (Nazi secret police) was actually, in the shape of two lightning bolts common to the Norse god Odin. Hitler had Albert Speer (his Architectural designer) draw-up plans to include a special temple for remembrance of dead SS officers. Hitler was the furthest thing away from the Christ of the Holy Bible. Hitler was more like any human being raised the same way - in similar circumstances and given the power would have been. Hitler practiced hurt and murder towards others and used the title "Christian" to justify his twisted cause. The Nazi party was devoted to the occultic practices - not Christian ones.

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.)

I don't think anyone ever accused Hitler of being rational. Also there are plenty of anti-Semitic Christians around today as well.
And yes, Hitler was a Christian.
What we have to fight for is the necessary security for the existence and increase of our race and people, the subsistence of its children and the maintenance of our racial stock unmixed, the freedom and independence of the Fatherland; so that our people may be enabled to fulfill the mission assigned to it by the Creator.
- Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, Vol. 1 Chapter 8
Thus inwardly armed with confidence in God and the unshakable stupidity of the voting citizenry, the politicians can begin the fight for the 'remaking' of the Reich as they call it.

These are Hitler's own words, not an urban legend.

Hitler was NOT a Christian. He was an occultist who was creating his own perverted religion, which by the way involved a lot of homosexual acts.
He based his beliefs on Nietzche who hated Christians, because Christians helped the weak. Hitler and Nietzsche hated the weak.

No, Hitler didn't care much for Christianity, but hey, they are saying in Russia that Stalin had a fondness for God in his later years. Even the big ones can lose their reason in the last days.

Yes. He was raised Catholic. And, it did.
Hitler wrote: "I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord.." As a boy, Hitler attended the Catholic church and experienced the anti-Semitic attitude of his culture. In his book, Mein Kampf, Hitler reveals himself as a fanatical believer in God and country.
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 only 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 in 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.... When I go out in the morning and see these men standing in their queues and look into their pinched faces, then I believe I would be no Christian, but a very devil if I felt no pity for them, if I did not, as did our Lord two thousand years ago, turn against those by whom to-day this poor people is plundered and exploited.

I believe Hitler's family was Catholic but it shows his actions were not to give glory to Jesus.
If you hate the Jews, you hate Jesus.
The arguments from atheists who take certain "quotes," yet somehow "miss" his actions, esp. toward Jews, is ludicrous.
How ironic.

Well, since he wasn't a Christian, and hated Christianity, and even had an occultist for a first mate, this question is moot.
