Yep I very much would refute that the Holocaust had anything to do with religion. The Jewish people were picked as scapegoats -- no doubt a great many of them didn't even practice Judaism. Were they asked that before they were slaughtered? OF course not. Create an enemy and in a country suffering ecomonically here was a group doing well. Religion -- NOPE. Just the usual human nature components like greed and envy.
Don't know about you but I had relatives in both wars and they weren't remotely Christian and they went over there to defend our right to live as we want to --had zilch to do with God.
Sorry but religion played a mighty tiny role in that war. Insinuating hordes of Christians went off trying to conquer the world or not be conquered is just silly and without any logic. If you want the word some to be your byword then fine. Some as defined -- a meaningless subplot within a greater overall conflict then sure I'll give you "some"
