Yeah, that's a silly comparison. Nazi ideology recognized a single person as a leader who was to be followed with utmost loyalty. Its adherents understood that its aim was to crush its enemies underfoot and wipe out entire populations of non-Nazis in order to secure living space for those who serve the conqueror. They accepted rules and mandates that led to the torture and execution of millions of innocents whose only crime was that they weren't Nazis, or weren't sufficiently Nazi.
That's absolutely nothing like... holy shit...
Not to mention that they had the backing of the church.
To be clear, and to be fair, only certain sections of the church backed Hitler, and that came primarily in the form of turning a blind eye while making concessions and maintaining a certain degree of affiliation.
