If you read quotes from Mein Kampf and some of his speeches, they definitely suggest that he was influenced by religion in one way or another. You could argue forever whether he was a "true" Christian or not but there is a lot of evidence out there. However it may have just been away to attract more support.

Quote:“The anti-Semitism of the new movement (Christian Social movement) was based on religious ideas instead of racial knowledge.”
[Adolf Hitler, “Mein Kampf”, Vol. 1, Chapter 3]
Quote:“I believe today that I am acting in the sense of the Almighty Creator. By warding off the Jews I am fighting for the Lord’s work.”
[Adolf Hitler, Speech, Reichstag, 1936]
Quote:“I am now as before a Catholic and will always remain so”
[Adolf Hitler, to Gen. Gerhard Engel, 1941]
Quote:“Catholics and Protestants are fighting with one another… while the enemy of Aryan humanity and all Christendom is laughing up his sleeve.”
[Adolf Hitler, _Mein Kampf_, pp.309]
Quote:“I have followed [the Church] in giving our party program the character of unalterable finality, like the Creed. The Church has never allowed the Creed to be interfered with. It is fifteen hundred years since it was formulated, but every suggestion for its amendment, every logical criticism, or attack on it, has been rejected. The Church has realized that anything and everything can be built up on a document of that sort, no matter how contradictory or irreconcilable with it. The faithful will swallow it whole, so long as logical reasoning is never allowed to be brought to bear on it.”
[Adolf Hitler, from Rauschning, _The Voice of Destruction_, pp. 239-40]
