Reply #83: Which nazis?

[PurpleChez]

As I wrote, my reading on the matter has been that the nazi leadership (as opposed to German citizens who were not party members) were contemptuous of Christianity and gravitated toward pagan/occult practices. Hitler trashed Christianity as a religion for weaklings. If there were members of the leadership who were in fact practicing Christians (not just who used Christianity to manipulate citizens) I would genuinely like to hear about it. I'm a geek for the History Channel.

I don't understand the rest of your message. After "Nazis were absolutely Christian" nothing that you say seems to apply to my post. Of course communists had beliefs. I never said they didn't, and 'belief' doesn't equal 'religion.' You can't say Stalin was yet another RELIGIOUS wacko because he 'believed' in totalitarianism. And I also said nothing to deny that "You can be an atheist without being a communist just like you can be a christian without being a Nazi". Because you can. I don't understand the reason for that comment.
