I understand your issue with that Vic, but as I stated I do not identify the Third Reich as an atheistic state, but neither do I think it appropriate to label it a Christian movement. If anything it would be a cult or amalgamation of multiple religions/worldviews. I've seen some label him a social Darwinist, and while that argument could be made, would it be fair to blame evolution or natural selection for the Holocaust? In the same breath, one should not blame Christianity for the Nazi movement.
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
