Question

Site where to find the facts. Not just your opinion.
Just curious about that.?

Answer 1

He was a Christian and speaks of his belief in God extensively in the Mein Kampf.
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
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. 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. ...Today, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that He had to shed his blood upon the Cross. ...

Read his own words as proof, do not rely on any website.

Answer 2

Technically he was a Catholic, and he definitely believed in some sort of spiritual force or forces. However, he was not motivated from a religious sense, at least not one that most believers would recognize.

Your best bet would be to find a creditable book about Hitler or do a search on biographies of him.

Edit:
Hilter's beliefs have no bearing on whether Christianity is right or wrong, ust like individual scientist's beliefs have no bearing on whether the theory of relativity is right or wrong. In both cases only the facts and evidence matter.

Answer 3

In the book "I was Hitler's Doctor" by Kurt Krueger, (TRUE BOOK) the author had questioned Hitler multiple times about his religion, and each time Hitler would respond that he was raised Catholic but was not practicing any religion.


And for those of you who believe in God, wouldn't it be better for Satan is Hitler claimed he was a devout Christian? Wouldn't that just give all of the athiests more "proof" that Christianity is wrong?

Answer 4

I'm now not partial to Hitler, in any respect, and I'm now not a lot of partial to the Catholic Church. But I suppose this accusation is mainly nonsense. Hitler additionally is meant to had been a satisfactory fan of the thinker Friedrich Nietzsche, the son of a Protestant minister and a vehement atheist. If Hitler used to be the sort of pious Catholic, how would he potentially have determined something necessary in Nietzsche? Meanwhile, most of the most sensible-rating Nazis round Hitler have been devout mystics who believed in a go back to the ancient Germanic gods -- Wodin and Thor and all of the leisure. The proven fact that Hitler used to be raised as a nominal Catholic, and that located a couple of Christian thrives on his essentially race-headquartered and hate-headquartered philosophy, as a consequence says little or no approximately Catholicism, I suppose. In Germany, there used to be a instead unsightly culture of "devout" anti-Semitism, however from what I've learn, it typically stemmed extra from the works of Martin Luther than it did from conventional Catholicism. Nevertheless, there have been a few violently anti-Semitic impulses at paintings amongst probably the most Christian heretics of the Middle Ages in Germany, as historian Norman Cohn aspects out in his guide "The Pursuit of the Millennium." Hitler most likely inherited a few of that nasty culture. If you desire to seem at vicioius anti-Semitism inside the Catholic Church, you typically must compare the historical past of Catholic Spain beginning in a while earlier than the unified monarchy of Ferdinand & Isabella. It used to be in Spain after 1492 that the Spanish Inquisition grew to be particularly brutal in torturing and executing suspected heretics, and main a few of the Inquisition's sufferers have been the so-known as "conversos." "Conversos" have been former Jews or their descendants who had officially modified to Catholicism, to hinder being expelled from the nation, and who have been suspected of preserving their ancient devout religion. They have been disproportionately sought out for violent persecution by way of Spanish Catholics who appear to have envied their wealth and their authentic luck in industry and in Spanish politics. So European Catholics, like European Protestants, without doubt have every now and then handled European Jews very badly. But Hitler had many affects running on him moreover to Catholicism. And sure, a few of the ones anti-Semitic affects -- the majority of the "medical racists" for instance -- have been atheistic instead than devout.

Answer 5

Hitler was raise Roman Catholic, I believe.
He believed that Germans were descendants of a mighty race of god-like giants - the Aryan.
He could not have been atheist simply because he also believed in a higher power or a higher race of beings (the Aryans) He also believed in supernatural powers of Christian artifacts.

Answer 6

He was born and raised Catholic.
He considered himself to be Catholic, but was not good about attending church.
He considered the church to be hypocritical, and thought that it had gotten too far from what Jesus intended it to be.
He did not want the church to be able to get in the way of his and the Nazi advancement.
He DID believe in God. That means, no matter how "bad" a Christian he was, he was NOT atheist.

Answer 7

He had an interest in astrology. I found my facts from the History Channel documentary,"Hitler and the occult." Hitler was raised Roman Catholic.

Answer 8

Well go read Mein Kampf. He not only says he is Catholic, he says that he was doing "The Lord's work" with respect to the Jews.

Now he did mix in a lot of occult beliefs, but at the core he was a Christian. He NEVER said that he didn't believe in God.
