37. The argument isn't the same
Here are two questions.

Was Hitler a Christian?

Was Hitler's Christianity the main ingredient in his thought, motivating his madness?

Those are different questions.

But your argument could be that Hitler's Christianity was the main ingredient in his thought, and I would disagree, based on my knowledge of the subject (which isn't negligible, but I'm not an expert either).

Let's not mince words, if you want to hold Christianity responsible for the Holocaust, well, you've got to prove that Hitler was a Christian and was acting as a Christian when he set the holocaust in motion.
