In short, he was naturalized in 1932, after being stateless for almost a decade. He left Austria in 1913, fought in a Bavarian regiment and was on an Austrian watchlist after founding the NSDAP.
But all of this doesn't really matter in this context. What matters is his religiosity. I always argue that it is as stupid to call him an atheist as it is to call him a christian, just because he didn't leave the Catholic church till his death. His private conversations, recorded by Henry Picker, show he wasn't an atheist. His writings do too. He had some kind of spirituality, endlessly talking about providence.
