Hitler was an atheist???

Question

Someone told me that Hitler was an atheist. Everything I have ever read on Hitler said that he was a Roman Catholic. If you ever look at the average Nazi uniform it always has a christian cross on the pocket and the generals always had big christian crosses on their hats. I don't think Hitler was an atheist.

Answer 1

He wasn't atheist.

He made Christian school prayer mandatory for the 1930's German schoolchildren who grew up to be his SS.
And Nazi soldiers wore belt buckles inscribed with "Gott mit uns" (God is with us).
“I am now as before a Catholic and will always remain so.” --Adolph Hitler
“The folkish-minded man, in particular, has the sacred duty, each in his own denomination, of making people stop just talking superficially of God's will, and actually fulfill God's will, and not let God's word be desecrated. For God's will gave men their form, their essence and their abilities. Anyone who destroys His work is declaring war on the Lord's creation, the divine will.”-- Adolf Hitler, "Mein Kampf"
“Hence today 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.”-- Adolf Hitler, "Mein Kampf"
“My feeling as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter." --Adolph Hitler, in a speech delivered at Munich, April 12, 1922
‘Almighty God, bless our arms when the time comes; be just as thou hast always been; judge now whether we be deserving of freedom; Lord, bless our battle!’”-- Adolf Hitler, "Mein Kampf"
"“I may not be a light of the church, a pulpiteer, but deep down I am a pious man, and believe that whoever fights bravely in defense of the natural laws framed by God and never capitulates will never be deserted by the Lawgiver, but will, in the end, receive the blessings of Providence.”-- Adolf Hitler, in a speech delivered on July 5, 1944
“We were convinced that the people needs and requires this faith. We have therefore undertaken the fight against the atheistic movement, and that not merely with a few theoretical declarations: we have stamped it out.”--Adolf Hitler, in a speech delivered in Berlin, October 24, 1933.

Would an atheist talk about fighting and stamping out the "atheist" movement? For those who suggesting that Hitler was an atheist, I suggest they actually read some quotes from Hitler himself on the subject, and not Christian anti-atheist propoganda.

Answer 2

Hitler wasn't an atheist. He was once ostensibly a Catholic who additionally dabbled relatively a little in Spiritualism. (Sorry, simply watched a significant bio on his devout ideals at the Hitler Chann --- er, I imply History Channel the opposite day). Stalin and Lenin have been atheists. Obviously, that is lovely scarytown. But even as, there were a few lovely scarytown Christians, Jews, Pagans, Muslims, agnostics, Hindus, what have you ever. Don't get me fallacious. I do not feel 'all paths are the identical' and I do not accept as true with atheism. But a couple of sociopaths don't have anything to do with whether or not atheism is proper or fallacious. It's proper if it is precise, fallacious if it is unfaithful.

Answer 3

He wasn't.

I believe today that my conduct is in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator.
- Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, Vol. 1 Chapter 2

Even today I am not ashamed to say that, overpowered by stormy enthusiasm, I fell down on my knees and thanked Heaven from an overflowing heart for granting me the good fortune of being permitted to live at this time.
- Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, Vol. 1 Chapter 5

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

In short, the results of miscegenation are always the following: (a) The level of the superior race becomes lowered; (b) physical and mental degeneration sets in, thus leading slowly but steadily towards a progressive drying up of the vital sap. The act which brings about such a development is a sin against the will of the Eternal Creator. And as a sin this act will be avenged.
- Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, Vol. 1 Chapter 11

There's more, but reading this crap is making me sick.

Answer 4

I don't know.

If Hitler was a Roman Catholic, he was one in name only, because he definitely thought that HE was God.

Anyone who believe in the Christian God (I mean anyone who REALLY believes) would never do the things that he did.

P.S. I think that the Vatican could have at least explained to Hitler that Jesus was Jewish and they were God's chosen people, not the Germans. They also could have explained that the religious leaders and the 'crowd' called for the death of Jesus, not the Jews in general. I wonder who called Adolf and made him responsible for the vengeance of the death of Jesus, doesn't the bible state "vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord."? Oh, yeah, the Catholics were told to believe in the bible, but not read it, I guess that could have caused some problems.

Answer 5

Hitler was Roman Catholic, but the Holocaust is a deeply embarrasing thing for Christians, because centuries of Catholic and Protestant anti-semitism made it possible.

That Hitler was an atheist is just a buck-passing smear.

Answer 6

He may have been raised Roman Catholic, but he certainly wasn't that as an adult. He was a mystic, believed in astrology and a bunch really wild mythology.

A christian cross on a Nazi uniform?? Nope, sorry, that's not a christian cross at all. It's called a swastika. If you're talking about the one that has even lenghts on all four legs, that's called an Iron Cross and was a medal.

Answer 7

Hitler was a Roman Catholic who got taught that everyone should be equal. He saw Jews who had it all and decided they needed to be divided. Jews, like many modern organized religions of today, took care of Jews.

Many Christians think that since Jesus died on a cross for their freedoms, they should get more freedoms than the rest! Christians do it in hiding though, many of them not realizing it. They do it using their social engine status within their particular social organizations to project image at work and move themselves on up into the higher paying, less labor intensive jobs.

Answer 8

The cross you speak of is an old cross for the Teutonics dating back to the 1st century AD, possibly even earlier by way of pagan symbols. The Iron Cross was what they called it.

In Hitler's time there was peer pressure to attend church everywhere. This pressure is not as prevalent today. Plus, when you are a politican, you are shooting yourself in the foot if you deny that God exists. Several books like Shirer's books claimed he was either an agnostic or atheist.

Answer 9

Hitler was raised a Roman Catholic. When he started his empire or whatever it was, he became an Atheist.

So yes, he was an ATHEIST. Including most of the Nazis.

Answer 10

From what I have heard about him he was a full blown Roman Catholic he just said he was Atheist. I think this was to cover up what he was really doing.
