I'll keep my controversial stance - Nazism is, by it's very nature, profoundly anti-religious because you can only strongly worship and obey one being at a time. Hitler might have been a Christian - He could have been anything in his most intimate private life - It does happen he seemed to enjoy animals, at least dogs, and he also enjoyed painting. None of that is relevant o Nazism. Nazism is based on eugenics and scientific racism theories that were very popular in the US and the western world at the time, Hitler was actually very influenced by all these pseudo-scientific theories - Some of them even lead to the creation of eugenics attempt like in Sweden with forced sterilization. You can't theologically justify the Holocaust using Christianity, and the scientific racism implicit is not able to be justified by any religion as most of them are incapable of even explaining the most basic facts. Hitler might have been a Christian, he might have used Christianity as a tool mechanism, but that's nowhere as relevant for his ideology. European nazi groups accept people who are atheists for a reason - It's not a fundamental component. Fascism and national-socialism have always been profoundly incompatible with religion, and only use it as useful tool to manipulate people.
Your OP title is retarded.
As for communism, give me a break - Some kinds of democratic socialism are secular but communism is itself an atheistic ideology in its core. You can use mental gymnastics to be a communist and a Christian as most early utopian communists were, but Marx's dialectic materialism is hardly compatible with any god or supernatural.

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
