I believe he was Catholic. But he sure wasn't committing the atrocities in the name of religion. Nationalism and racism were his religion. He hated the race of Jews.
I'm not absolving religion of wrongdoings here, since religion has certainly had a bloody past, but I've heard people say things like "religion was the cause of all problems throughout history" and that's simply not true. Secular ideology can be just as dangerous.
