But it's as ridiculous to say he was an atheist. He wasn't. Not by all accounts. He constantly talked about providence and believed in all kinds of woos. Even in his last days in the bunker he took the demise of Roosevelt as a sign that providence was on his side and he could still win the war. At best he was a deist of some sorts. Less so than Heinrich Himmler, who believed to be the reincarnation of the German King Henry I. Hitler openly ridiculed him for that in conversations as well as for his obsession with Germanic archeological sites. He was well aware that the Romans and Greeks were much more advanced than the Germanic tribes. Hitler also openly admired the Catholic church. Not for religious reasons of course but in the same way he admired Stalin. For their ruthlessness and their ability to draw people to their side.
What we have to keep in mind is that we're dealing with multi facetted individuals who took their influences from various books, periodicals and ludicrous figures at the turn of the century. A black and white scheme doesn't cut it and it certainly doesn't do history any justice.
