Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Hitler was Roman Catholic!. What's also interresting is that it's worth noting that Hitler's mother was Jewish and he hated his mother from the very begining!. Sort of a fore-shadowing of coming events!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

He followed an occult religion that was a mix of paganism, astrology, and devil worship!. Claimed that its origins were from ancient times before the Jewish lie of Christianity came to the German people!. His lead general, Erwin Rommel was a catholic and not a Nazi!. Hitler once told Rommel that his God was for the weak, but mine is for the strong!. Many Nazi symbols and dates for their actions were based on this religion!. Hitler's suicide corresponded with a date that means something in this religion!.

The History channel did a program on this that I watched!. Can't remember the name of it though!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hitler was raised by Roman Catholic parents, but after he left home, he never attended Mass or received the sacraments,Hitler often praised Christian heritage, German Christian culture, and professed a belief in Jesus Christ!.

In his speeches and publications Hitler even spoke of Christianity as a central motivation for his antisemitism, stating that "As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice"!.[ His private statements, as reported by his intimates, are more mixed, showing Hitler as a religious man but critical of traditional Christianity!. However, in contrast to other Nazi leaders, Hitler did not adhere to esoteric ideas, occultism, or neo-paganism,and ridiculed such beliefs in Mein Kampf!.

Rather, Hitler advocated a "Positive Christianity", a belief system purged from what he objected to in traditional Christianity, and which reinvented Jesus as a fighter against the Jews!.

Hitler believed in Arthur de Gobineau's ideas of struggle for survival between the different races, among which the "Aryan race" — guided by "Providence" — was supposed to be the torchbearers of civilization!. In Hitler's conception Jews were enemies of all civilization!.

Hitler, despite his native Catholicism, favored aspects of Protestantism if they were more amenable to his own objectives!. At the same time, he adopted some elements of the Catholic Church's hierarchical organization, liturgy and phraseology in his politics!.

Hitler expressed admiration for the Muslim military tradition!. According to one confidant, Hitler stated in private, "The Mohammedan religion too would have been much more compatible to us than Christianity!. Why did it have to be Christianity with its meekness and flabbiness!.!.!."!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

He was a devout Christian and built many churches during his reign!.

“The folkish-minded man, in particular, has the sacred duty, each in his own denomination, of making people stop just talking superficially of God's will, and actually fulfill God's will, and not let God's word be desecrated!. For God's will gave men their form, their essence and their abilities!. Anyone who destroys His work is declaring war on the Lord's creation, the divine will!.”

( Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, Ralph Mannheim, ed!., New York: Mariner Books, 1999, p!. 562!. )

“I may not be a light of the church, a pulpiteer, but deep down I am a pious man, and believe that whoever fights bravely in defense of the natural laws framed by God and never capitulates will never be deserted by the Lawgiver, but will, in the end, receive the blessings of Providence!.”

( Adolf Hitler, in a speech delivered on July 5, 1944; from Charles Bracelen Flood, Hitler: The Path to Power, Boston, Mass: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1989, p!. 208!. )

“I say: my Christian feeling tells me that my lord and savior is a warrior!. It calls my attention to the man who, lonely and surrounded by only a few supporters, recognized what they [the Jews] were, and called for a battle against them, and who, by God, was not the greatest sufferer, but the greatest warrior!. !. !.

“As a human being it is my duty to see to it that humanity will not suffer the same catastrophic collapse as did that old civilization two thousand years ago, a civilization which was driven to its ruin by the Jews!. !. !. I am convinced that I am really a devil and not a Christian if I do not feel compassion and do not wage war, as Christ did two thousand years ago, against those who are steeling and exploiting these poverty-stricken people!.

“Two thousand years ago a man was similarly denounced by this particular race which today denounces and blasphememes all over the place!. !. !. That man was dragged before a court and they said: he is arousing the people! So he, too, was an agitator!”

( Adolf Hitler, in a speech delivered on April 12, 1922; from Charles Bracelen Flood, Hitler: The Path to Power, Boston, Mass: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1989, pp!. 261-262!. )

“We have experienced a miracle, something unique, something the like of which there has hardly been in the history of the world!. God first allowed our people to be victorious for four and a half years, then He abased us, laid upon us a period of shamelessness, but now after a struggle of fourteen years he has permitted us to bring that period to a close!. It is a miracle which has been wrought upon the German people!. […] It shows us that the Almighty has not deserted our people, that He received it into favour at the moment when it rediscovered itself!. And that our people shall never again lose itself, that must be our vow so long as we shall live and so long as the Lord gives us the strength to carry on the fight!.”

( Adolf Hitler, in a speech to the 'Old Guard' of the Party at Munich, March 19, 1934!. )

“Thus inwardly armed with confidence in God and the unshakable stupidity of the voting citizenry, the politicians can begin the fight for the ‘remaking’ of the Reich as they call it!.”
