Well, read "mein kampf" if you like.
Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord.
Hilere mixed christianty with other aspects, he saw himself as a saviour, that was what the "Führerkult" was based on. Hitler targetted christian people if the stood in his way and spoke against the nazi ideology, but not just because they were christian.
The claim that Hitler was so evil because he was an atheist as many christians want to believe is baseless.

I guess I should've realized that at least on the surface Hitler wouldn't have been atheist-atheism was usually identified with communism. And as to reading Mein Kampf, I have a copy but after trying twice to get though it I had to give up. For some reason, I have a great difficulty reading any works translated from German.
