Fact, every single german nazi was a christian

You know the origin of that? It origins in 1701 and was the motto of the Prussian kings. It's Prussian and not even German tradition. They never changed it up to 1945. The SS wore a different slogan on their belt buckles. It was practically the same wording the US marines use. "Meine Ehre heißt Treue". Which roughly translates into Being faithful is my honor - or "semper fi". So no god there.

Everyone believing that the Nazis were a christian movement should educate themselves on the diverse standpoints of all the different NS organisations. The SS, lead by Heinrich Himmler, was deist (Gottgläubig). That was the official position. The matter is very complex, since the Nazis were supported by various church organisations, catholic as well as protestant. But the leading figures weren't affiliated with any denomination. Hitler stayed Catholic, but reading the stenographic accounts of his dinner conversations (various books have been written on them) he wasn't a friend of the Catholic church. He wasn't an atheist, but he also was a deist. According to his own words and conversations. His secretary Martin Bormann wanted to abolish the churches, but Hitler was opposed to that idea - during wartime and for political reasons. After the "Endsieg" he would have gone along with Bormann's ideas - again, according to his own words. For reference, see "hitlers tischgespräche im führerhauptquartier", edited by Henry Picker, who was on duty at the "Wolfschanze" and wrote them down himself with Hitler's permission.

There were various atheists, such as Alfred Rosenberg. There were totally areligious persons, such as Josef Goebbels. For reference read his diaries. He was a professional cynic above all else.

So, again. The OP is nothing but a cardboard description of a very complex matter.
