I mean...for all the hemming and hawing about magic and witchcraft are evil, Catholics say magic words over bread and wine to turn their "spiritual identity" into that of the blood and flesh of a demigod, which they consume to acknowledge their salvation by the sacrifice offered by said demigod.
For all the hemming and hawing by protestants about how non-biblical and non-Christian and how very pagan Catholicism is, they say magic words and sprinkle babies with water to create a binding covenant with the SAME gods and demigods the Catholics are worshipping, for the most part.
You also have to account for the idea that in Christian doctrine, it is very easy to make the ends justify the means and then ask for forgiveness later, even in the case of "dabbling in the occult." Either way, even if Hitler was into some form of paganism, that form of paganism was probably also some form of Christianity because Christianity itself is a form of paganism.

Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
