Actually Nazis where in excellent relationship with Christians and Hitler himself was a christian

Nazis also signed Reichskonkordat with the Church where Hitler granted the right of Catholics to practice their faith as well as the freedom to express it publicly without retribution. Catholics were "protected in their establishments and their activity." Religious orders were exempted from paying taxes on stipends they received from the church. The right to operate Catholic schools was reaffirmed. Government workers were forbidden from criticizing the church. Plus every German had to give 10% of their pay to the Church.
If you read Article 16 of the Reichskonkordat required German bishops and cardinals to swear an oath of loyalty to the Third Reich.

Also Nazis did not invent antisemitism but exploited traditional and very old Christian hate toward Jews like Heinrich Himmler, who was in charge of carrying out the Holocaust, used the myth of blood libel, or the ritual murder of Christian children by Jews, to incite anger among eastern European Catholics against Jews.

Not just that but Christians and Vatican stayed loyal to the Nazis even after WW2 when Vatican issued fake passports for Nazi criminals, like Mengele, so they can escape to Latin America

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
