That's not even remotely true. He was the product of all the obscure figures roaming the land at the turn of the last century. Guido von List, Georg Ritter von Schönerer and to a lesser degree Jörg Lanz von Liebenfels, to name only a few.
He was also the product of his upbringing, which bore all the hallmarks of the sociopath recipe. Abusive father, overprotective mother. Never found his place in life, never could or wanted to hold on to a job. That's Hitler.
By all accounts, he wasn't an atheist. He often spoke about providence. Even in his private circle. It's not as easy as saying, he was christian or atheist. He probably wasn't either.
