He claimed to be Catholic, but he secretly hated Christianity. He claimed that he was god. So his religion was Hitlerism.

He was born into a catholic family but hated all religion. He played up the angle of doing the 'Lords work' in writing and speeches because he knew his audience....the German people were and are predominantly christian and Hitler used religion as a rallying cry.

He was Catholic and he was quite definite about that. He was not part Jewish as some claim.
Hitler was confirmed as a Catholic and he was never excomunicated.
Anyway, even if Hitler was not religious the Nazi party was very religious. They even built a Lutheran Church for themselves. To deny the Fundamentalist Christian roots of the National Socialists is to miss a very important part of the rise of Fascism in prewar Germany.

Probably not belonging to any real organized religion but rather mixing some old Hindu religious beliefs with social Darwinism and then simply the dogma of power and dementia.

CATHOLICS AND THE HOLOCAUST
(People have asked about the number of Catholics who died because of the Nazis. The site on the Nuremberg Trials came up with the number of 42,000,000 for Christian victims of the Nazis. Since most of those were Roman Catholics,
one can gather that the number was at least quite overwhelming.)

Hitler was NOT a Christian. He subscribed to a varied mix of Nordic, Teutonic, and Aryan myths.

A speech in 1922:
"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 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."
Hitler claimed to be Christian, but he could always been faking it.
In 1941 he said:
"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."
Basically, Hitler was an unstable, mentally challenged nut-case.

Catholic/Christian, with a strong interest in Teutonic symbolism. And btw, he did have some Jewish ancestry (irony). And the Papal system in Rome actually helped some Nazis escape near the end of the war. More irony.
