I read through about 10 of the 17 pages here to see if the right answer was going to be posted, and didn't see it. The Nazi's were converting or planned to convert people into Pagans, but using the Christian name.
The Nazi's ran a campaign to change Christianity to a new type of Christianity called 'Positive Christianity' which distanced Christianity from Jesus and the Jews which was about 15 years in the making before the Nazi's started the war.
Hitler consistently self-identified as a Christian, and even on occasion as a Catholic specifically throughout his entire political career despite criticizing holy biblical figures. He identified himself as a Christian in a 12 April 1922 speech.[5] Hitler also identified himself as a Christian in Mein Kampf. However, historians, including Ian Kershaw and Laurence Rees, characterize his acceptance of the term "positive Christianity" and his political involvement in religious policy as being driven by opportunism, and a pragmatic recognition of the political importance of the Christian churches in Germany.[3] Nevertheless, efforts by the regime to impose a Nazified "positive Christianity" on a state-controlled German Evangelical Church essentially failed, and it resulted in the formation of the dissident Confessing Church which saw great danger to Germany from the "new religion".[6] The Catholic Church also denounced the creed's "blood and soil" ideology in the 1937 papal encyclical Mit brennender Sorge. Hitler privately assured General Gerhard Engel in 1941 that "I am now as before a Catholic and will always remain so."[7]
"During the war, Rosenberg drafted a plan for the future of religion in Germany which would see a Positive Christian Reich influenced by paganism conduct the "expulsion of the foreign Christian religions", the replacement of the Bible as the supreme religious authority with Mein Kampf as the holy scripture of Positive Christianity and the replacement of the Christian cross with the swastika as the universal symbol of European Christianity in Nazified Christian churches."
Hilter is no different than other secularist politicians pretending to be Catholic, like some member in our Government currently are.
Ahh, so in reality you meant the opposite of what you said.
Interesting
Oh come on, you're being deliberately obtuse to deflect from his main point that there's this guy you have a lot in common with. Pretty much the same execrable ideas, maybe slightly more conspiracy theory-ish than you but he could almost have been your mentor. In addition, he was living proof that bright people can sometimes be very undiscerning.
I mean, IS the seat of the pope empty at present because the pope is a heretic? Is Vatican II a Masonic conspiracy? Inquiring minds want to know!

Not really. But reading comprehension isn’t for everyone.
