Point of order, "Gott Mit Uns" was on German military belt buckles before Hitler was born. And rather than reinforcing Hitler's catholicism (which incidentally is historically well-known), it merely goes to show that every side believes god is on their side. Barring the sides that of course do not believe in god.
Furthermore, the catholic church never condemned anything the Nazis did and indeed only excommunicated one of them. Goebbels. And that was because he married a filthy protestant. What a fucker eh?

Respect must be earned and not given. I am under no obligation to respect your beliefs any more than I am obliged to respect the beliefs of someone who claims that we have hordes of leprechauns hiding in our bodies causing out limbs to move.
And finally, if I may throw in my 2 cents. Atheism is freedom. If you are not bound by the dogmatic beliefs and petty morallities of the worlds established religions, you are free to decide to live by whatever rules you so choose. I am unfettered by your morallity and I wouldn't give up my freedom for anything.
