Adolf Hitler was an atheist

"Hitler was an atheist and look what he did!"

emphatically, Hitler was not an atheist. He himself said:

Man-conscious people, in particular, each in his own band, has the sacred duty to

that people stop taking God's surface, to fulfill the Will of God and do not let the Word of God is desecrated . (Emphasis added color)

By the Will of God gave men their form, their essence and their abilities. Anyone who destroys His work declares war on the Creation of the Lord, the Divine Will. Therefore, every man is active, each in his own group, and every man to do his first and most sacred duty to oppose anyone who in his activity, works or words out of the confines of her religious community and try to make mockery of each other. [...]

Consequently, I act according to the will of the Almighty Creator
to defend the Jews. I am fighting for the Lord's work
. (Emphasis added color)

[Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, translated into English by Ralph Mannheim]



Hitler certainly sometimes seemed a theist, and claimed to be a Christian:

The Führer made it known to managers of the Final Solution that the killings should be done in the most humane way possible. This according to his conviction that he was fulfilling God's commands pest disinfect the world. While still a member of the Roman Catholic Church but disliked its hierarchy (" I am now as before a Catholic and always will " [quoting Hitler]), he carried within him that the Jew was the murderer of God. The extermination, therefore, could be done without remorse of conscience and that he was acting as the avenging hand of God, if it is made impersonally, without cruelty. (Emphasis added color)

[John Toland (Pulitzer Prize winner) of "Adolf Hitler", pp 507, on the fall of 1941]

The quote that says "
I am now as before a Catholic ...

"of Hitler, was recorded in the diary of Gerhard Engel, an SS lieutenant in October 1941. Hitler was speaking in private, not before a mass audience, and therefore it is difficult to discredit the message as propaganda lies. Of course, an evil believing something bad does the belief in question. It is also entirely possible that Hitler lied when he claimed that he believed in God. Nor can we conclude with certainty that he was an atheist, therefore.
