Was Hitler Really a Christian?

He was a brash, bold, pugilistic, narcissistic, nationalistic bully of European heritage who only claimed to be a Christian while mesmerizing millions under a weird, inexplicable spell and promising to rid them of millions of people he and they deemed inferior to save the country.

I'm talking about Hitler, of course, not, um, anyone else.

"The Führer is deeply religious, though completely anti-Christian. He views Christianity as a symptom of decay. Rightly so. It is a branch of the Jewish race. This can be seen in the similarity of their religious rites. Both (Judaism and Christianity) have no point of contact to the animal element, and thus, in the end they will be destroyed. The Führer is a convinced vegetarian on principle."
