since I've been initiated with christian posers trying desperately to revise historical fact, I've decided to past just the evidence of the facts right in a new thread so all new readers can see that there is a mountain of evidence, and look at some on those legitimate atheist websites right there.

"The National Government will preserve and defend those basic principles on which our nation has been built. It regards Christianity as the foundation of our national morality, and the family as the basis of national life."
— Adolf Hitler, Berlin, 1933, first radio address after coming to power.
"The national Government sees in both Christian denominations the most important factor for the maintenance of our society."
— Adolf Hitler, speech at the Reichstag, March 1933
"Secular schools can never be tolerated because such a school has no religious instruction and a general moral instruction without a religious foundation is built on air; consequently, all character training and religion must be derived from faith ... We need believing people."
— Adolf Hitler, April 1933, from a speech made during negotiations leading to the Nazi-Vatican Concordat of 1933
"I am personally convinced of the great power and deep significance of Christianity, and I won't allow any other religion to be promoted."
— Adolf Hitler
"Today Christians ... stand at the head of [this country]... I pledge that I never will tie myself to parties who want to destroy Christianity .. We want to fill our culture again with the Christian spirit ... We want to burn out all the recent immoral developments in literature, in the theater, and in the press - in short, we want to burn out the poison of immorality which has entered into our whole life and culture as a result of liberal excess during the past ... (few) years."
— Adolf Hitler, quoted in: The Speeches of Adolf Hitler, 1922-1939, Vol. 1
We were convinced that the people need and require this faith. We have therefore undertaken the fight against the atheistic movement, and that not merely with a few theoretical declarations; we have stamped it out."
— Adolf Hitler, speech on October 24, 1933
There's a whole list of relevant quotes here http://www.godlessgeeks.com/LINKS/Quotes.htm
"The work that Christ started but could not finish, I — Adolf Hitler — will conclude."
— Adolf Hitler, December 1926. Here, here, and here are more of his quotes on religion, God, and Christianity. Here are Nazi photos showing their alliance with Christianity.
Now let me address a favorite criticism of the christian posers here, one, this is not a "blanket statement" because its a statement of fact, the nazi's required applicants to be christian in order to join their party, so every nazi WAS a christian because they were required to be. Furthermore, 87% of the german population was christian when the nazi's were elected and the nazi's in no way hid their hatreds from the public, in fact those hates were the subject of every speech and the majority of the 87% Christians voted for them,so its not just technically true that every nazi was a christian, the nazi's had the full support of the churches as well as the vote of the 87% christian populace.
All of the webpages I linked too are established, well known atheist websites or supporters, and they present verifiable historical facts! Facts which the churches are trying to cover up with revisionist history and the huge irony of that fact is thats its not even the catholic church doing it, the claim that hitler was an atheist is coming mainly from baptist ministers and evangelical televangelists and their followers. Gerald, the catholic historian I verified these facts with is the one who pointed that out to me, his church isn't even the one trying to rewrite history.
Now why again are either atheist or an agnostic arguing precisely the opposite when the opposite is the false propaganda presented by those who hate atheists and agnostics alike? I don't mind discussing issues with religious people, but the words of Phil Robertson, the 2014 FBI hate crimes statistics report, and a number of other incidents have some of us deeply concerned with the propaganda coming from the church of late and we feel we need form a front and push for a civil rights reform and that becomes difficult when you shamelessly call yourselves atheist online and infiltrate our community, then specifically undermine those efforts. If you religious bigots did that crap to Jewish people, no one would deny that its wrong and bigoted, so what makes it ok for you to do it to us?
