In german highschool, my history teacher told be that the "Southern Baptist convention" actualy supported Franco`s invasion of Spain and the destruction of the Spanish Republic financialy.
He also showed us a comic which was shown in American cinemas between 1939 and 1945. In it the cross in a church is replaced by a swastiker and the bible with Mein Kampf.
He said that the american goverment during WW2 intentionaly tried to create the image of the "antichristian nazis" because it feared that many americans would otherwise not support a war against them.
The Idear that Hitler was atheist is not that widespread in Europe, especialy in protestant Europe.
