The Nazis Were Christian?

Within a year of taking power, Hitler was saying: 
"Christianity was incapable of uniting the Germans, and that only an entirely new world-theory was capable of doing so." 
Also within a year of the Nazis taking power, The Twenty-Five Theses of the German Religion, a conscious modeling of the twenty-five points of the Nazi program, was published in Germany. Thesis XV of that Nazi publication states: 
"The Ethic of the German Religion condemns all belief in inherited sin, as well as the Jewish-Christian teaching of a fallen world.  Such a teaching is not only non-Germanic and non-German, it is immoral and nonreligious.  Whoever preaches this menaces the morality of the people."
In February 1937 Hanns Kerrl, Minister of Religion in the Third Reich, said: 
"The question of the divinity of Christ is ridiculous and inessential.  A new answer has arisen as to what Christ and Christianity are: Adolph Hitler."  
Ummm. No.

And frankly you've had a failed education if you believe it.

In fact, it's a fair argument that the Nazis made the Bolsheviks look like pikers in their level of hatred for Christianity. In fact, their implacable Jew hatred was in part because the Christians had been spawned from them...
