After reading this entry, at best Hitler did what Stalin did if we are going to say he was not a Christian. He learned his own authoritarian rule from his Catholic upbringing. He certainly found it useful
It could be argued that Hitler hated religion getting in his way, but he was no atheist and did admire Jesus and blamed Paul(the Jew) for misrepresenting Jesus.
But he was no atheist. At best it seems he simply tried to create his own deistic/cult like version of Catholicism and like Stalin, did learn as a kid how the church's own authoritarian rule could be mimicked for his own personal rule.
I got shit for confusing belt buckles so that means none of the Nazis had "Got Mitt Uns" on them regardless of which sect of Hitler's military, so because of that Hitler was not a Christian.
He was, maybe not in the traditional sense, and he certainly did not like religion competing with the state, but he did not outlaw all forms of it, but like every other aspect of life, that which he saw beneficial to his means he allowed leeway as long as it knew it's place.
His version of "Separation of Church and state" as claimed in this article was nothing like America's First Amendment or the founder's intent. It was tyranny to all aspects of life. But it was the same authoritarian rule that lead Hitler to believe that God chose Germans, the Aryan master race, so it still amounts to authoritarian rule.

Hitler from Mien Kamp Wrote:The political leader should not estimate the worth of a religion by taking some of its shortcomings into account, but he should ask himself whether there be any practical substitute in a view which is demonstrably better. Until such a substitute be available only fools and criminals would think of abolishing the existing religion.
Wiki on Hitler Wrote:Even after a rupture with institutional Christianity (which he dated to around 1937), Steigmann-Gall saw evidence that Hitler continued to hold Jesus in high esteem, considering him to have been an Aryan fighter who struggled against Jewry.[33] In Hitler's view, Jesus' true Christian teachings had been corrupted by the Apostle Paul, who had transformed them into a kind of Jewish Bolshevism,
