what religion did hitler follow again?

Question

"In public statements, especially at the beginning of his rule, Hitler frequently spoke positively about the Christian heritage of German culture and his belief in the "Aryan" Christ. "Hitler knew, through the constant invocation of the God the Lord (German: Herrgott) or of providence (German: Vorsehung), to make the impression of a godly way of thought."[19] He used his "ability to simulate, even to potentially critical Church leaders, an image of a leader keen to uphold and protect Christianity," according to Ian Kershaw. "

Answer 1

Hitler was a Catholic,who thought he was doing God's will in acting in the manner he did. That is the primary reason most likely for the Vaticans deafening silence during The Holocaust. Of course the Catholic Church had a pretty strong Anti-Semitic streak at the time,which is most likely where Hitler learned his intense hatred of the Jews.

Answer 2

Hitler was a politician who initially said whatever he thought people wanted to hear, in order to gain support of the people, just like all politicians have always done. He may have made some early statements to try and gain the Christian vote, but after he gained full power, the mask came off. Hitler actually believed in the old Germanic pantheon of gods and godesses, the original religion of Germanic pre-Christianity featuring Wotan, Freya, Thor, etc. He is on record as saying that Christianity "takes fine men and basically ruins them"

Answer 3

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)

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)

Answer 4

This is my opinion of what religion Hitler followed:
One of the most well known examples of megalomania in modern history was Adolf Hitler. A street waif, Hitler wasn't content rising through the ranks to become the military leader of Germany. His megalomania drove him to aspire to conquer the entire world. Being born into a "superior race" also wasn't enough for the mentally ill Hitler. Instead, he wanted to wipe out all other races. This need to destroy everything outside of what he perceived as an extension of himself is a classic though horrifically illustrated example of megalomania. Paradoxically, a person who exhibits such tremendous ego and self-confidence in reality has such low self-esteem and such a fragile ego that he cannot abide any expression other than his own, for fear of annihilation of the self. Therefore everything that is not under his control is perceived as a threat.

Answer 5

Hitler was raised a Roman Catholic but rejected Catholicism when he was a young boy. He claimed to be a Christian and he claimed his stance on anti-Semitism was based on "Positive Christianity".

In another word he chose to claim to be of a religion but misused it to get his own way just like most other dictators of the past and present.

Answer 6

He believed in "Deutschland uber alles" - he killed millions of culturally orthodox, catholic and protestant people, as well as his genocides against Gypsies and Jews. His hoped-for 1000-year Reich which lasted of all 12 years is a kind of perverse satanic shadow of the Millenium when Christ will rule.

He was a great fan of the myths of German paganism and also atheist German thinkers like Nietsche.

Answer 7

Hitler was a Christian who instituted prayer in schools and made numerous references to the Almighty in Mein Kampf. He signed a concordat with the Vatican, and even the belt buckles of the SS troops carried the phrase, "God is with us."

Edit: Any attempts to say otherwise is revisionist history at its worst. Hitler's words, deeds, and Nazi Germany's official policies all had a very Christian slant. It's interesting to note the Vatican's lack of condemnation of Nazi Germany until 1942, when it appeared Germany might lose the war.

Here is a quote from Mein Kampf:
"I was not in agreement with the sharp anti-Semitic
tone, but from time to time I read arguments which gave me some food for thought. At all events, these occasions slowly made me acquainted with the man and the movement, which in those days guided Vienna's destinies: Dr. Karl Lueger and the Christian Social Party ... The man and the movement seemed 'reactionary' in my eyes. My common sense of justice, however, forced me to change this judgment in proportion as I had occasion to become acquainted with the man and his work; and slowly my fair judgment turned to unconcealed admiration. Today, more than ever, I regard this man as the greatest German mayor of all times ... How many of my basic principles were upset by this change in my attitude toward the Christian Social movement! My views with regard to anti-Semitism thus succumbed to the passage of time, and this was my greatest transformation of all."

Answer 8

Hitler was a false convert. He claimed to be a Christian but did not know the God of the Bible. Just because a person claims something does not make it true.

You shall not make yourself an idol. (Hitler made a god in his mind that he was more comfortable with, a god to suit Hitler?)

Answer 9

Hitler was a catholic.
The Vatican was a great supporter of Hitler and the Nazi party.
The Vatican also helped many Nazi dignitaries escape to South America at the end of the war.

Answer 10

He was a Catholic.
Are you trying to convince me that Christians don't sin.
Because they do, everyone does. And btw "kill the jews" is not a Catholic value. He didn't live exactly how Christ would have wanted him to but noone does. Btw, all sins are equal. Remember when you called a little boy fat when you were in the third grade, you could have killed 6 million jews and it would be the same to God. You have sinned, it does'nt matter what you've done, all that matters is that you've sinned.
