The preponderance of the evidence points the fact that Hitler was a Christian.
He might have thrown in a bit of paganism, but with 36000 Christian sects, it wouldn't be the first time local folklore and traditions were mixed into Christianity.
But not only does the evidence point to Hitler being a Christian, he was a creationist.
“The most marvelous proof of the superiority of Man, which puts man ahead of the animals, is the fact that he understands that there must be a Creator. The fox remains always a fox, the goose remains a goose, and the tiger will retain the character of a tiger”
"For it was by the Will of God that men were made of a certain bodily shape, were given their natures and their faculties”
The "Origin of the Species" and every book on evolutionary biology was banned by Hitler. And his breeding program was based on the soldier breeding programs of ancient Sparta, which he was a big fan, not evolution.
But for argument's sake, lets say he was an atheist masquerading as a Christian. He sure did not have any problems getting the 99% (67% Protestant, 33% Catholic) of the German population, that was Christian at the time, going along with him in the name of their flavor of Christianity.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
