Was Adolph Hitler a religious man?

The Popes during the Dark Ages were driven to slaughter others because they were 'different'. They believed they were doing God's work so they felt no guilt or remorse. Hitler was driven to slaughter others because he was crazy. He also felt no guilt or remorse. The actions of those early Popes were equal to those of Hitler, their motives were also the same. Education, not Religion, is the answer to the intolerance people have toward each other. We must also remember that Hitler did not act alone, he had tens of thousands of helpers, all of whom were 'Christians'.

Other than Jesus of course, I would say the very opposite type of person.  Adolph Hitler did lots of damage.

Adolf Hitlers father was not jewish. He wanted to eliminate the jewish race, because: (VERY SIMPLIFIED: After WW1 germany was ruined, but the jewish population were richer than most, as they were the bankers, shopkeepers, etc. Adolf eventually persuaded the germans into thinking it was the jews fault that germany was poor.\n\nAlso hitlers mother died of lucemia and her doctor was jewish.\n\nThere are dozens of other factors, and hitler also exterminated, prostitutes, gays, cripples, gypsies, bums, blacks, asians, anybody who wasn't german. (Although hitler was from austria)

No, that's pretty accurate. The other 4% were Jews and other Christian faiths. Hitler was Austrian, and raised a Catholic.\nOne little side-bar, as long as we're discussing Nazi Germany: One of the first things Hitler did when coming to power was to ban all abortions, citing them as an "abomination." Thought that was interesting, considering what happened later.

YES\n \n\n\nHitler, Adolf  \nEncyclopædia Britannica Article \n \n \n Rise to power \n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nDischarged from the hospital amid the social chaos that followed Germany's defeat, Hitler took up political work in Munich in May–June 1919. As an army political agent, he joined the small German Workers' Party in Munich (September 1919). In 1920 he was put in charge of the party's propaganda and left the army to devote himself to improving his position within the party, which in that year was renamed the National-sozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (Nazi). Conditions were ripe for the development of such a party. Resentment at the loss of the war and the severity of the peace terms added to the economic woes and brought widespread discontent. This was especially sharp in Bavaria, due to its traditional separatism and the region's popular dislike of the republican government in Berlin. In March 1920 a coup d'état by a few army officers attempted in vain to establish a right-wing government. \n\nMunich was a gathering place for dissatisfied former servicemen and members of the Freikorps, which had been organized in 1918–19 from units of the German army that were unwilling to return to civilian life, and for political plotters against the republic. Many of these joined the Nazi Party. Foremost among them was Ernst Röhm, a staff member of the district army command, who had joined the German Workers' Party before Hitler and who was of great help in furthering Hitler's rise within the party. It was he who recruited the “strong arm” squads used by Hitler to protect party meetings, to attack socialists and communists, and to exploit violence for the impression of strength it gave. In 1921 these squads were formally organized under Röhm into a private party army, the SA (Sturmabteilung). Röhm was also able to secure protection from the Bavarian government, which depended on the local army command for the maintenance of order and which tacitly accepted some of his terrorist tactics. \n\nConditions were favourable for the growth of the small party, and Hitler was sufficiently astute to take full advantage of them. When he joined the party, he found it ineffective, committed to a program of nationalist and socialist ideas but uncertain of its aims and divided in its leadership. He accepted its program but regarded it as a means to an end. His propaganda and his personal ambition caused friction with the other leaders of the party. Hitler countered their attempts to curb him by threatening resignation, and because the future of the party depended on his power to organize publicity and to acquire funds, his opponents relented. In July 1921 he became their leader with almost unlimited powers. From the first he set out to create a mass movement, whose mystique and power would be sufficient to bind its members in loyalty to him. He engaged in unrelenting propaganda through the party newspaper, the Völkischer Beobachter (“Popular Observer,” acquired in 1920), and through meetings whose audiences soon grew from a handful to thousands. With his charismatic personality and dynamic leadership, he attracted a devoted cadre of Nazi leaders, men whose names today live in infamy—Alfred Rosenberg, Rudolf Hess, Hermann Göring, and Julius Streicher. \n\nThe climax of this rapid growth of the Nazi Party in Bavaria came in an attempt to seize power in the Munich (Beer Hall) Putsch of November 1923, when Hitler and General Erich Ludendorff tried to take advantage of the prevailing confusion and opposition to the Weimar Republic to force the leaders of the Bavarian government and the local army commander to proclaim a national revolution. In the melee that resulted, the police and the army fired at the advancing marchers, killing a few of them. Hitler was injured, and four policemen were killed. Placed on trial for treason, he characteristi

Actually, it was about neither. It was economics and social structure. You need to learn a LOT more about the haulocaust. Hitler was anti-religion. He made the Catholics of Germany burn their bibles, etc.

Yes... and no.\n\n"Most of Adolf Hitler's biographers assert that he was a vegetarian from 1931 until his death in 1945. However, a few reports indicate that he occasionally ate meat during the 1930s." - care of the link below.\n\nHope this helps!

He did not attend any churches at all. There was something I read one time about his father's family originally coming from a place in England where there were secret Jews, but I don't think he was Jewish either. He was probably an agnostic like some other 19th century thinkers. Remember he read and thought a lot and probably came to his own conclusions.

God gave us free will to make our own choices.Hitler had the same free will we all have.What he chose to do with it, was his free choice. I might guess that God was not liking what was happening, but had to allow it to happen.

Adolf Hitler (help·info) (April 20, 1889 – April 30, 1945) was Chancellor of Germany from 1933, and "Führer" (leader) of Germany from 1934 until his death. He was leader of the National Socialist German Workers Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei or NSDAP), better known as the Nazi Party.\n\nHitler gained power in a Germany facing crisis after World War I. Using propaganda and charismatic oratory, he was able to appeal to the economic need of the lower and middle classes, while sounding resonant chords of nationalism, anti-Semitism and anti-communism. With the establishment of a restructured economy, a rearmed military, and a totalitarian fascist dictatorship, Hitler pursued an aggressive foreign policy with the intention of expanding German Lebensraum ("living space"), which triggered World War II when Germany invaded Poland. At the height of its power, Nazi Germany occupied most of Europe, but it and the Axis Powers were eventually defeated by the Allies. By then, Hitler's racial policies had culminated in a genocide of approximately eleven million people, including about six million Jews, in what is now known as the Holocaust.\n\nIn the final days of the war, Hitler committed suicide in his underground bunker in Berlin with his newlywed wife, Eva Braun.

Nope.\n\nBut man using religion as an excuse sure is.

Hitler was not an atheist, but your point is a fair one.  You cannot accurately judge an individual by his association with a particular race, religion, or other group.  Neither can you say that each member of the group is typical of its membership.

I don't agree with this. Ask him what he thinks of Bill Clinton, Richard Nixon, and John F. Kennedy. Then ask him what he thinks of Adolf Hitler. Any criticism there? Is Germany any less a Christian nation than the USA? Didn't God choose Hitler to be a leader?\n\nI believe in Jesus as my Savior, not a President. \n\nGod wants us to pray for our leaders and follow them, yes. But we have a responsibility to question them and hold them accountable as thinking people and as law abiding people. They are to be held to even higher standards than we are, according to the Bible. \n\nThis same reasoning of your pastor's is what Hitler used during WWII to brainwash nations to follow him in the name of God. \n\nI think it's blasphemous to send so many soldiers into Iraq in the name of peace. I also think it's lying to say there are weapons of mass destruction where there are none to be found and arrogant not to admit your mistake. \n\nThis kind of thinking irks me. Why was there no talk of this when Monica was in the spotlight? \n\nIf you don't know who Monica is, ask your pastor.\n\nGood for you for talking to your pastor, but don't forget you have the Bible to guide you. God speaks to you as much as He speaks to him.

It was up to Hitler to ask for forgiveness for his sins.\n\nnobody else can do that for you.

Adolph Hitler, leader of the Nazi party in Germany, became Chancellor under President von Hindenberg in 1933, and began his official reign of terror against the Jews, and many other groups of people.  When von Hindenberg died, Hitler assumed the presidency also, and became the sole ruler of Germany.  Soon after, he ordered implementation of THE FINAL SOLUTION, which meant murdering every Jew he could get his hands on.

Yup.\n\nMar 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.\n\nAccording to the plain text, Hitler would go to heaven if he asked for forgiveness and the 6 million Jewish people that he caused the death of will be eternally tortured for not accepting Jesus as the messiah. They thought Auschwitz was tough..just wait til god gets ahold of them.\n\nChristianity is absurd. Try science it is much more beautiful and awe-inspiring than myths.\n\nhttp://www.tufts.edu/as/wright_center/cosmic_evolution/docs/splash.html
