As I said before, I find it disgusting when people just change history as they please to justify their political causes.
No one wants to be in any club that Hitler was in. I always enjoy telling vegetarians that Hitler was a vegetarian, too. They usually go fucking apeshit.
It's one of my little guilty pleasures!
According to QI, Hitler wasn't a vegetarian. Not that I'm citing them as a reliable source... or that they can't be wrong... but they must have had good reason to reject that claim.
As for Hitler's belief system... it changed during his life. Saying "Hitler was a ..." (insert belief system) is a bit of a mistake. He started as a Catholic and Christianity featured heavily in his life... but he was also into paganism and believed in mysticism. If he'd won WW2, I'm fairly confident that he'd have named himself a god, too. His belief systems changed. They never (that I've ever heard of) included atheism.
