(June 25, 2011 at 7:38 am)FaithNoMore Wrote: I'm curious to hear how you know that Hitler was merely invoking religion for political reasons and didn't wholeheartedly believe he was doing the Christian thing.

His religious pronouncements diminished after he had secured power. They were a means to an end, not an end in themselves. Religion was only invoked because Germany was predominantly Christian. Had it not been then it would either have never been referenced by him, or insignificantly so.

Also this : Himmler was a Pagan and strongly disapproved of Christian weddings for S S officers. If Hitler was as religious as is suggested, would he have allowed someone with those views to be given so much power and authority within the Third Reich ?
