Some atheists dont want to be associated with hitler or stalin also which im guessing is a reason why they would reject the label, but as i said i dont believe theres atheist ideals, we dont have priests and preachers, there werent atheist preachers saying to hitler "yeh go kill a load of jews theres no god so who cares" on the other hand there are christian and muslim preachers doing this, and additionally its also a stupid argument for a muslim to bring up that hitler was an atheist since a lot of muslims admired hitler for what he did and wished they had the power to do the same.

In Mein Kampf he says he is a Christian, from his speeches, he is a Christian, he formed the Reichskonkordat with the pope to ensure that priests were not harmed or hampered, his eulogy (from Franco) describes him as a good Catholic', many Catholics, even in England admired his 'good Christian works' and of course he tried to introduce 'true Christianity', i.e. a form of Christianity with an Aryan Jesus and without the OT and the Jews involved.
I think we will all agree that he was not a good Christian, but he certainly wasn't an atheist; that is fairly recent Christian propaganda. No one thought that when I was a child.
Sorry, off-topic but I just couldn't stop my fingers.
