For starters it doesn't take into account how the party changed over the years. The program has been written in 1920. It also doesn't take into account how figures like Rosenberg, Himmler and Hitler himself defined themselves.
I take offense with that kind of simplistic views, since it's as stupid as theists saying that Communism was an atheist movement.
Communism is an atheist movement, in the sense that it supports no religions. I guess you could say a non-theist movement. However, the Nazis were very clear about their religious affiliation, they wore it on their sleeves (or on their belts, to be more accurate).
There is nothing demonstrably true that religion can provide mankind that cannot be achieved as well or better through secular means.
