As opposed to Hitler, we don't have records of his private conversations and aren't privy to what his immediate entourage had to say.
He may be all of the above, but we don't know. We know the persona and that he's going through the motions. Pleasing the church because it's got power over many people. Pleasing the anti gay nationalists. Everything else is pure speculation, since nobody knows that man, other than that he always knew how to pick the right friends to further his own career.
