Whether or not Hitler was Christian or an atheist is such a silly and pointless argument. It doesn't matter what Hitler believed. Regardless of his personal beliefs (or lack thereof), the vast majority of the people who enabled the Holocaust and followed out the orders to commit genocide were Christians (the population of Germany was predominantly Christian during the Third Reich). Indeed, anti-Semitism would not have been so prevalent in Europe were it not for Christians who blamed the Jews for killing Jesus.
And no, Calgaryborn, I'm not interested in hearing you try to explain how they weren't "real" Christians. That's as stupid as saying the rioters in Vancouver weren't "real" Canucks fans.
