While I agree with you, that's not a good example because Hitler was a Christian and believed that God told him to exterminate the Jews. He was very much talking about Christianity when he made that statement.
Lol....
No, Hitler was NOT a Christian. I understand WHY that narrative has been perpetuated but I don't understand why so many so effortlessly buy into it without even thinking about cracking open a History book.
Hitler was pushing for the creation of a National Reich Church and had he stayed in power there's no doubt he would have succeeded.
Here are a few points taken from the National Rieche Church's 30 point program.
1. The National Reich's Church of Germany categorically claims the exclusive right and the exclusive power to control all churches within the borders of the Reich; it declares these to be national churches:
5. The National Reich Church is determined to
exterminate irrevocably and by every means the strange and foreign Christian faiths imported into Germany in the ill-omened year 800.
7. The National Reich Church has no scribes, pastors, chaplains or priests but National Reich orators are to speak in them.
10. The National Reich Church irrevocably strives for complete union with the state. It must obey the state as one of its servants.
As such, it demands that all landed possessions of all churches and religious denominations be handed over to the state. It forbids that in future churches should secure ownership of even the smallest piece of German soil or that such be ever given back to them. Not the churches conquer and cultivate land and soil but exclusively the German nation, the German state.
13. The National Reich Church
demands immediate cessation of the publishing and dissemination of the Bible in Germany as well as the publication of Sunday papers, pamphlets, publications and books of a religious nature.
14.
The National Reich Church has to take severe measures in order to prevent the Bible and other christian publications being imported into Germany.
15. The National Reich Church declares that to it, and therefore to the German nation,
it has been decided that the Fuhrer's "Mein Kampf" is the greatest of all documents. It is conscious that this book contains and embodies the purest and truest ethics for the present and future life of our nation.
18.
The National Reich Church will clear away from its altars all crucifixes, Bibles and pictures of Saints.
19.
On the altars there must be nothing but "Mein Kampf", which is to the German nation and therefore to God the most sacred book, and to the left of the altar a sword.
22. The National Reich Church repudiates the christening of German children, particularly the christening with water and the Holy Ghost.
28. The National Reich Church rejects the customary day of prayer and atonement. It demands that this be transferred to the holiday commemorating the laying of the foundation stone of the National Reich Church.
