22. I think he probably was a Christian but I can't say so with 100% certainty

Many of the founding fathers tried to pass themselves off as Christians when in fact they were humanist free thinkers. Hitler may have been a public Christian but in private had very different religious beliefs. Unlikely, but possible.

Even if Hitler was a Christian, Jesus didn't teach his followers to eradicate the Jews. I don't think we can blame Jesus and Christianity for the actions of Hitler, however Christians, or any kind of fundamentalists have a higher probability of killing in the name of there religion.

Certainly, it was a climate of Anti-Semitism in Germany that allowed Hitler to kill millions of Jews. Their definitely was no climate of Atheism in Germany.
