what faith was hitler?
966508
Hitler was a Roman Catholic, baptized into that religio-political institution as an infant in Austria. He became a communicant and an altar boy in his youth, and was confirmed as a "soldier of Christ" in that church. The worst doctrines of that church never left him. He was steeped in its liturgy, which contained the words, "perfidious Jew." This hateful statement was not removed until 1961. Perfidy means treachery. \n\n\nHitler was not sure who his paternal grandfather was, but it was probably either Johann Georg Hiedler or his brother Johann Nepomuk Hiedler. There have been rumours that Hitler was one-quarter Jewish [1] and that his paternal grandmother, Maria Schicklgruber, had become pregnant after working as a servant in a Jewish household in Graz. During the 1920s, the implications of these rumours along with his known family history were politically explosive, especially for the proponent of a racist ideology. Opponents tried to prove that Hitler, the leader of the anti-Semitic Nazi Party, had Jewish or Czech ancestors. Although these rumours were never confirmed, for Hitler they were reason enough to conceal his origins. Soviet propaganda insisted Hitler was a Jew, though more modern research tends to diminish the probability that he had Jewish ancestors.

as far as i know zarathustra's religion, zoroastrianism, was the first monotheistic faith as we know it. judaism borrowed from it as well as christianity. it had the all good character and the all evil character.

1.Hitler was born on April 20, 1889, at Braunau-am-Inn, Austria. Alois, his father, had risen from a poor peasant background to become an Austrian customs official and was able to provide his son with a secondary school education. Adolf, a bright and talented student at his village school, felt out of place in the much larger urban secondary school. He gave himself up to aimless reading, dreamed about becoming an artist, and developed a talent for evading responsibilities. Poor school marks prevented him from obtaining the customary graduation certificate. After the death of his father, he left his home in Linz, Upper Austria, in 1907 to seek his fortune in Vienna.\n\nHitler's professed aim in Vienna was to study art, especially architecture, but he twice failed, in 1907 and 1908, to get admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts. These failures destroyed what little order he had established in his life. He withdrew completely from family and friends and wandered aimlessly through the city, observing its life. Though he continued to read voraciously, he derived most of his knowledge from secondhand sources, coffeehouse talk, newspapers, and pamphlets. He encountered the writings of an obscure author whose racist and anti-Semitic ideas impressed him. Politically, he turned to a fervent German nationalism and a vague anti-Marxism. But at this time he was probably mainly interested in being accepted as an artist and architect. \n\nWhen the money left by his parents ran out, Hitler fell into total poverty, lodging in a men's hostel. Grudgingly, he decided to support himself by painting postcards and watercolors and to accommodate himself to the mixed company of tramps, outcasts, cranks, and transients that populated his lodgings. In both respects he did the barest minimum; he never learned to work regularly, and he remained essentially a loner. But he learned an invaluable lesson: how to evaluate and exploit the mentality of these marginal people, the Lumpenproletariat. He never considered that they posed a social problem, however, and for the rest of his life he mistook them for the real working class.\n\n3.Allied inactivity and a lightning victory over Poland permitted Hitler to mobilize his forces fully and to persuade his reluctant generals to intensify the war effort. In April 1940, German troops conquered Norway and Denmark; in May and June they swept through the Netherlands, Belgium, and France. On June 22, a triumphant Hitler forced France to sign an armistice at Compiegne, the site of the armistice of 1918. He was at the peak of his career, having now proved himself a superior military commander, and he began to build his New Order in Europe. The New Order's only tangible result was Heinrich Himmler's policy of racial reorganization. It combined a senseless resettlement of racially "valuable populations with a relentless suppression and extermination of "subhumans, among them about 6 million Jews, through slave labor, concentration camps, gas chambers, firing squads, and starvation.\n\nMeanwhile, Britain's determination and the imminent conflict with Russia forced Hitler to go on. After unsuccessfully trying to defeat Britain through a heavy bombing attack on the British Isles and a ground offensive against British troops in North Africa, Hitler turned with full force to the east. On June 22, 1941, he launched his attack on the Soviet Union. But the German advance was stopped before Moscow by a harsh winter and a Russian counterattack. At the same time Japan, with which Germany had a nonaggression pact, attacked Pearl Harbor, and Hitler declared war on the United States.\n\n4.During this period, Hitler lived mainly from royalties for his book and fees for newspaper articles. He was able to afford an apartment in Munich, a villa in the Alps, and a car, but his style of life remained modest. He had a craving for pastries, movies, and Richard Wagner's music. His behavior still alternated between o

We need faith, not religion. Faith leads us to be better people, help others, find purpose in life, etc.\n\nReligion is what men kill each other over.\n\n...and by the way, Hitler was Catholic.

That would all depend on who you asked.  As there is no known method for determining the facts about one's fate following death (yet), such a question is subject to one's personal religious/spiritual beliefs and not much else.\n\nIn my opinion, Hitler was processed in exactly the same way all souls are processed.  I do not believe that there is an external method of judgement for souls.  I imagine he experienced some pain and regret when he saw, for the first time, just how much suffering he had created, but with the perspective granted through death, I'm sure it was seen as a very small lesson in a much, MUCH larger education.\n\nOne book that discusses such things, and Hitler specifically, is Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsch.  A worthwhile read for any seeker of spiritual truth, in my opinion.

Brooke, I sympathize. They can't handle historical fact - all they have is their one book, and they believe everything in it. So outside fact has no meaning. If the bible told them the sky was pink, they would look at it and say "what a pretty pink sky". If you told them it was blue, they would argue forever about how the bible says it's pink, so it's pink. They still refuse to accept that Hitler was a Christian, even though we've provided tons of evidence that he slaughtered the Jews due to his religious beliefs. Don't take it too personally - the christers don't like people messing with their world view.

No. Maybe the "Christ of faith" was based upon a historical figure, I don't know, but he was no son of any god. The only document we have of him is either the bible or "church father" sources and I don't trust either. \nI used to be a believer, but not as of about 2003.

Hitler was incredibly smart but also incredibly narrow minded, and he underestimated the will of people to survive. He thought that there was one supreme race, and didn't see that we as people as a whole have incredible will to survive against the worst odds. Its a human trait, not a racial one.\nWhat brought Hitler down was his inability to see that.\nAlso I don't look at him as an idiot, he was just another man who didn't have the right role models growing up and didn't know any better. I mean he had a brilliant mind, he just chose to use his powers for evil instead of good.

He served as an altar boy and sang in the choir but was not a practicing Catholic as an adult, though in public discourses he continued to frequently claim he was a Christian.\nHe was the fourth of six children of Alois Hitler (1837–1903), a customs official, and Klara Pölzl, Alois' niece and third wife. Of these six children, only Adolf and his younger sister Paula reached adulthood.\nFrom 1905 onward, Hitler was able to live the life of a Bohemian on a fatherless child's pension and support from his mother.On December 21, 1907, his mother Klara died a painful death from breast cancer at the age of 47. Hitler gave his share of the orphans' benefits to his younger sister Paula, but when he was 21 he inherited some money from an aunt.

This is a GREAT question.  Hitler was clearly strongly influenced by the Catholic Church....and he did remain an avowed Catholic throughout life.  After WW1, Hitler joined an ultra-nationalist group called the Thule Society (this later became the foundation of the Nazi party).  The Thule party can be thought of as being like an ultra-conservative country club, with some very weird spiritual beliefs.  Among them were the aryan racial theories that later became famous under Nazi propoganda.  They got their name from a German legend of a land called Thule (like a German Atlantis) where they were initially born...and superior to other races.  While in the Thule party he came into contact with several german nationalist mystics.  Notably Karl Houfhasen (my spelling is probably wrong).  Houfhasen became very influential on Hitler's mystic/religious beliefs.  They bleieved in some Indian legends, Norse Legends, they had ties with the Japanese Black Dragons (a Japanese semi-mystic nationalist group with their own theories of racial superiority), and some traditional paganism.  He combined a lot of these beliefs, and took from them what he wanted, to support his position.  You could almost consider Hitler's religious belief system a hodge podge of many beliefs selected to rationalize the beliefs learned in the Thule Society.  I hope this answer was somewhat helpful.  One side note.....it should be remembered that the Pope of that time actively supported Hitler as a last defense against Stalin/Communism.  So he clearly was seen as Xtian to a large number of people.  That same Pope also refused to allow african american solidiers into the Vatican.

Hitler did not all of a sudden say, 'Hey, lets band everyone together by hating Jews.' The hatred of Jews in Europe goes all the way back to the time it became Christian. Passages in the Christian's New Testament paint "The Jews" as being the children of the devil, hypocritical, and interested only in money rather than in Gd. \n\nWho wrote the following???\n\n"""But since I learned that those miserable and accursed people do not cease to lure to themselves even us, that is, the Christians, I have published this little book, so that I might be found among those who opposed such poisonous activities of the Jews and who warned the Christians to be on their guard against them....Now, in order to strengthen our faith, we want to deal with a few crass follies of the Jews in their belief and their exegesis of the Scriptures, since they so maliciously revile our faith. If this should move any Jew to reform and repent, so much the better. We are now not talking with the Jews but about the Jews and their dealings, so that our Germans, too, might be informed....Our Lord also calls them a "brood of vipers"; furthermore, in John' 3:39 he states: "If you were Abraham's children would do what Abraham did.... You are of your father the devil." It was intolerable to them to hear that they were not Abraham's but the devil's children, nor can they bear to hear this today.... For they are a heavy burden, a plague, a pestilence, a sheer misfortune for our country. Proof for this is found in the fact that they have often been expelled forcibly from a country, far from being held captive in it....Therefore be on your guard against the Jews, knowing that wherever they have their synagogues, nothing is found but a den of devils in which sheer self-glory, conceit, lies, blasphemy, and defaming of God and men are practiced most maliciously and veheming his eyes on them.......but then eject them forever from this country. For, as we have heard, God's anger with them is so intense that gentle mercy will only tend to make them worse and worse, while sharp mercy will reform them but little. Therefore, in any case, away with them!"""\n\nIt was Martin Luther, one of the founders of the Protestant movement in Christianity!

I don't have a set religion, but I would have to say Jesus. Hitler had mental issues, and he had his own Secret Soldiers kill a group of Nazis called Stormtroopers killed in an inn because they were deemed ineffective. Jesus has the help of God, who could just smote Hitler down with a terrible bowel movement, and Jesus could die but he would just be ressurected again.

They believed that Nostradamus had predicted Germany would win WWII and they handed out propaganda with quotes from him. Also more people from Ukraine died in the Holocaust (up to 7 million) than Jews (6 million).

Faith is having a strong belief which you cannot absolutely prove (ie: I have faith Elvis is really alive)\n\nDestiny is the faith that the future is preordained and that things "are meant to be". \n\nBelieving in God is synonomous with having Faith in God.\n\nCommonly, people believe that God is the one who controls Destiny.

He was Catholic. \nIn 1936, the Reich Church was created but this still followed Catholicism. This did not have the Christian cross as its symbol but the swastika. The Bible was replaced by "Mein Kampf" which was placed on the altar. By it was a sword. Only invited Nazis were allowed to give sermons in a Reich Church.

He was the product of a Christian Austrian father and a Jewish Mother, who began to hate jews when a jewish doctor failed to save the life of his mother who died from a cancerous tumor.\n\n  He was deeply involved in the occult and some have speculated that he may have been possessed by a demon.
