As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice.
Adolf Hitler
If only it was so simple. We can't say for sure if this quote is genuine. We don't know if he changed stance after the book (something that is extremely likely).
Quotes aren't reliable. You'll find several quotes dated after Mein Kampf where Hitler could very easily be painted as an atheist. It's simply not cut and dry, unfortunately.
The entire debate is futile. It's simply not relevent to either side of the religion argument whether or not Hitler was a Christian, atheist, Buddhist or pagan. It's simply not a valid point to say that any belief held by Hitler is a bad one, simply because he was a bad person.
