It's a Jewish religion, right?

Jesus is a Jew.

And so they were very opposed to Christianity.

Hitler himself, actually, there are a few quotes from some of the speeches that makes it very clear.

I mean, he's very flippant about Christianity, especially when he's talking to an internal audience of national socialist supporters.

You get the idea.

This is not a genuine Christian.

It's not a believing person.

I know some people think that's controversial and have this idea that Hitler was a Christian man.

And he did seem to have a belief in God or a higher power.

But I'm just telling you that if you read through his speeches, which I have, it's just very clear.

He's not a believing Christian.

However,

he did get annoyed by some national socialists who really wanted to immediately start moving away from Christianity.

His viewpoint, this is purely strategic, but his viewpoint is, this is ridiculous.

Like the German people,

are not ready to move away from christianity at all most people even if they don't practice and you know mid-20th century people are starting to move away from christianity as a as a serious faith but even if they don't practice they still have cultural ties to christianity and and any sort of oppression or opposition to christianity is just going to be a total death knell for national socialism as a national party

And he probably agreed with the idea of moving Germany away from Christianity and towards

either a more secular, probably a more secular direction.

Uh, he fancied himself like a modern scientific, secular man, perhaps pagan, but that was never Hitler's thing.
