- Positive_Christianity abstract "Positive Christianity (German: Positives Christentum) was a movement within Nazi Germany which mixed ideas of racial purity and Nazi ideology with elements of Christianity. Hitler used the term in Article 24 of the 1920 Nazi Party Platform, stating: \"the Party represents the standpoint of Positive Christianity\". Non-denominational, the term could be variously interpreted. Positive Christianity allayed fears among Germany's Christian majority as expressed through their hostility towards the established churches of large sections of the Nazi movement. In 1937, Hans Kerrl, the Nazi Minister for Church Affairs, explained \"Positive Christianity\" as not \"dependent upon the Apostle's Creed\", nor in \"faith in Christ as the son of God\", upon which Christianity relied, but rather, as being represented by the Nazi Party: \"The Fuehrer is the herald of a new revelation\", he said. To accord with Nazi antisemitism, Positive Christianity advocates also sought to deny the Semitic origins of Christ and the Bible. In such elements Positive Christianity separated itself from Christianity and is considered apostasy by Catholics and Protestants.Hitler was supportive of Christianity in public, yet hostile to it in private. Hitler identified as a Christian in an April 12, 1922 speech. Hitler also identified as a Christian in Mein Kampf. However, historians, including Ian Kershaw and Laurence Rees, characterize his acceptance of the term \"Positive Christianity\" and involvement in religious policy as driven by opportunism, and a pragmatic recognition of the political importance of the Christian Churches in Germany. Nevertheless, efforts by the regime to impose a Nazified \"positive Christianity\" on a state controlled Protestant Reich Church essentially failed, and resulted in the formation of the dissident Confessing Church which saw great danger to Germany from the \"new religion\". The Catholic Church also denounced the creed's pagan myth of \"blood and soil\" in the 1937 papal encyclical Mit brennender Sorge.The official Nazi ideologist Alfred Rosenberg played an important role in the development of \"positive Christianity\", which he conceived in discord with both Rome and the Protestant church, whom he called \"negative Christianity\". Richard Steigmann-Gall queries whether this made Rosenberg a genuine anti-Christian. Rosenberg conceived of Positive Christianity as a transitional faith and amid the failure of the regime's efforts to control Protestantism through the agency of the pro-Nazi \"German Christians\", Rosenberg, along with fellow radicals Robert Ley and Baldur von Schirach backed the neo-pagan \"German Faith Movement\", which more completely rejected Judeo-Christian conceptions of God. During the war, Rosenberg drafted a plan for the future of religion in Germany which would see the \"expulsion of the foreign Christian religions\" and replacement of the Bible with Mein Kampf and the cross with the swastika in Nazified churches.".
