/lit/ was Hitler an atheist? Please give proof to either argument.

He came from a Catholic background and was praised by the Pope, but at the same time Italy was fascist and friendly to the NSDAP, so I don't know.

Yes, he blamed the Jews for killing Christ.

The only thing I could find was this but it's about the Nazi party as a whole and I'm not sure how credible this is.

>Christ didn't exist
>The Jews were the ones who wanted Pilate to have Christ executed and free Barnabas

>>1555976
Would that make him an atheist or what?

>>1555937

I'm pretty fucking sure he was an atheist. I don't think any person that narcissistic with a cult of personality like that can honestly believe in a higher power.

The Jews literally killed god. Remember, he's a Germanic, and in Aryan pagan folklore, gods can die.

The Jews also worshiped Jesus at the time of his death. The Jews responsible for killing christ were local religious authorities and the ones that didn't like him. Lots of Jews did.

But the Jews that worshiped Christ became Italians, which is why he allied with them.

oh lol, carry on

What about Mohammed?

Where do you think the one true church was?

>>1556022

Considering that Jesus is fucking dead and no one can adequately re-state his beliefs, I'd say the one true church was wherever the guy felt orating in Judea.

There's a whole chapter in this book about Hitler's views on religion. According to Hoffmann the shit Hitler said about religion wasn't just rhetoric to gain support, but he actually believed it.

I think he believed in a certain sort of "divine destiny" or deistic God, but probably the best way to describe his religious beliefs are "opportunistic"

He certainly wasn't an atheist, especially after all his rants about atheists being self centered and degenerate Commies or whatever. He wasn't a Catholic once he reached adulthood, Christianity was too meek and Jewish; though he admired the efficient hierarchies of the church, he cringed at the thought that Germans needed to submit to the will of some private organization based in another country. I think he had nostalgia for Germanic paganism, but also recognized that it wasn't feasible bringing dead religions back to life
