No, the religion they followed was Christianity, and it wasn't briefly replaced with nationalism or revenge for those years. 10s of millions of people who grew up Christian and called themselves Christians were involved.
This is not controversial or an indictment of anyone, any religion, or anything. It's got nothing to do with correlation = causation, their starchy diet, what religion their neighbours (and the Allies for that matter) followed, or moral relativism. It's just true about the German people at the time.
I shouldn't even have responded in the first place, because I think it's a pretty silly derail off the topic, which is Islamic lunatics in the world right now, and I continued (and continue to continue) the derail.
It just rubs me the wrong way when I read "Hitler believed X, he didn't like the Pope, and the Nazis had some crazy religious ideas" and while that may all be true, the people who got behind it all and carried it out were Christian people. It had to be, because that's who lived there.
