Adolf Hitler was born into a Catholic family and occasionally referenced Christianity in public, but his personal views on Christianity were largely negative.

@MaximusOrth @z_zyklon @VMaliceofficial @FolkWolfsson @BBelarussian The ideology and policies of the Nazi regime were fundamentally incompatible with Christian values and principles.

"Christianity is the prototype of Bolshevism: the mobilization of the masses by propaganda."

@MaximusOrth @z_zyklon @VMaliceofficial @FolkWolfsson @BBelarussian This reflects his view of Christianity as a weak, egalitarian force contrary to Nazi ideals of racial hierarchy and authoritarianism.

The Nazi regime's actions further demonstrate this incompatibility:

@MaximusOrth @z_zyklon @VMaliceofficial @FolkWolfsson @BBelarussian They persecuted Christian clergy who opposed its policies, such as Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a Lutheran pastor executed for his resistance.

@MaximusOrth @z_zyklon @VMaliceofficial @FolkWolfsson @BBelarussian They also promoted "Positive Christianity," a manipulated version of the faith that stripped away its Jewish roots and aligned it with Nazi ideology, as outlined in the 1920 Nazi Party platform.

@MaximusOrth @z_zyklon @VMaliceofficial @FolkWolfsson @BBelarussian Additionally, the regime’s policies directly contradicted Christian teachings on the sanctity of life and love for one’s neighbor.

These actions and statements reveal a clear antagonism between Nazi ideology and authentic Christian values.

Whomp whomp whomp
