Those people did not individually kill all those people. They were part of a larger system that they had taken control of. The majority of which were theists. But this is still all beside the point. You still have not demonstrated the following:

What evidence do you have that those people were exterminated because they believed in the existence of God?

Couple of excerpts from the same article:
“According to Alan Bullock, Hitler was a rationalist and materialist "who believed neither in God nor in conscience."
“His anti-Christian world view is evidenced in sources such as the Goebbels Diaries, the memoirs of Albert Speer, and the transcripts edited by Martin Bormann in Hitler's Table Talk. The historian Evans wrote that HITLER REPEATEDLY CALLED NAZISM A SECULAR IDEOLOGY FOUNDED ON SCIENCE, WHICH IN THE LONG RUN COULD NOT CO-EXIST WITH RELIGION.”
From the same link which you deliberately missed out which is a demonstration of your intellectual dishonesty ...
Quote:The religious views of Adolf Hitler are a matter of debate.
Quote:Nonetheless, Hitler opportunistically employed the language of "divine providence" in defence of his own myth.[2] When young, Hitler was baptised and confirmed in the Roman Catholic Church and raised by an anti-clerical father and practising Catholic mother.
Quote:Hitler had fully discarded belief in the Judeo-Christian conception of God by 1937, but continued to use the word "God" in speeches.[11] In Mein Kampf (1925/6), Hitler refers to an "Almighty Creator" and "Providence"
So he may not have liked Christianity but that does not mean to say that he wasn't a theist.
