I honestly don't see how this myth gets so popular. Hitler references religion quite a bit in Mein Kampf. In fact, I've heard part of the reasons Nazi Germany hated the Jews so much was because they killed Jesus (so they said). They even referenced God on their freakin uniforms:

It's just what people do; they try to discredit anyone who's against their group by making the Hitler references. The absurd thing is, not only was Hitler nor the Nazi party not atheists, there was another dictator during the same time period who was actually an atheist: Stalin. Which just kinda proves that atheists can be assholes just as easily as theists.
