- Q392636 abstract "The religious views of Adolf Hitler are a matter of debate. According to Alan Bullock, Hitler was a rationalist and a materialist "who believed neither in God nor in conscience." Nonetheless, Hitler opportunistically employed the language of 'divine providence,' in defence of his own myth.Hitler was baptised and confirmed a Catholic in his youth, and raised by an anti-clerical father and practising Catholic mother. In adulthood, he became disdainful of Christianity, but retained some respect for the organisational power of the Church, and though he was prepared to delay clashes out of political considerations, according to Kershaw, Bullock, Evans, Fest, Phayer, Shirer and others, he eventually hoped to eradicate Christianity in Germany. Prosecutors at the Nuremberg Trials submitted that Hitler engaged in a slow and cautious policy to eliminate Christianity. Historians such as Fischel and Dill have written that if the regime could not eradicate Christianity, it hoped instead to subjugate or distort it to a Nazi world view. Steigmann-Gall interprets Hitler's language to mean that Hitler held Jesus in high esteem as an "Aryan fighter" who struggled against Jewry, but notes that, over time, his Nazi movement became "increasingly hostile to the churches".According to Kershaw, Hitler was "a very private, even secretive individual", able to deceive "even hardened critics" as to his true beliefs. His anti-Christian world view is evidenced in sources such as the Goebbels Diaries, the memoirs of Albert Speer, and the transcripts edited by Martin Bormann in Hitler's Table Talk. The historian Evans wrote that Hitler repeatedly called Nazism a secular ideology founded on science, which in the long run could not co-exist with religion. Goebbels wrote in 1941 that Hitler "hates Christianity". Speer wrote after the war that Hitler had "no real attachment" to Catholicism, but that he never formally left the Church. Rees concludes that "Hitler's relationship in public to Christianity—indeed his relationship to religion in general—was opportunistic. There is no evidence that Hitler himself, in his personal life, ever expressed any individual belief in the basic tenets of the Christian church".Although skeptical of religion, Hitler referred to belief in a "creator" and sometimes Christianity in speeches. Given his hostility to Christianity, Rees wrote, "[t]he most persuasive explanation of these statements is that Hitler, as a politician, simply recognised the practical reality of the world he inhabited... Had Hitler distanced himself or his movement too much from Christianity, it is all but impossible to see how he could ever have been successful in a free election". Hitler's public relationship to religion was one of opportunistic pragmatism. He saw Christianity as a temporary ally against Communism. Use of the term "Positive Christianity" in the Nazi Party Program of the 1920s is commonly regarded as a tactical measure. Julian Baggini writes that Hitler's Germany was not a "straightforwardly atheist state," but one which "sacrilized" notions of blood and nation. Hitler angered Christians by appointing the neo-pagan Alfred Rosenberg as official Nazi ideologist (though Hitler had contempt for the neo-pagan views of Rosenberg and Heinrich Himmler). According to Max Domarus, Hitler had fully discarded belief in the Judeo-Christian conception of God by 1937, but continued to use the word "God" in speeches. In Mein Kampf (1925/6), Hitler refers to an "Almighty Creator" and "Providence", but declared himself neutral in sectarian matters and supportive of separation between Church and State. The book presents a nihilistic, Social Darwinist vision of a universe, a vision in tension with traditional Christian notions.Until the mid 1930s, Hitler's speeches sometimes advocated "Positive Christianity" (a movement which sought to nazify Christianity ). In 1933, Hitler promised not to interfere with the churches if given power, and called Christianity the foundation of German morality. Once in Office however, the regime sought to reduce the influence of Christianity on society. Hitler was reluctant to make public attacks on the Church for political reasons, but generally permitted or encouraged anti-church radicals such as Himmler, Goebbels and Bormann to perpetrate the Nazi persecutions of the churches. The regime launched an effort toward coordination of German Protestants under a unified Protestant Reich Church (but this was resisted by the Confessing Church), and moved early to eliminate political Catholicism. Hitler agreed, then routinely ignored a Reich concordat with Rome and permitted persecutions of the Catholic Church (the Pope denounced his religious policies in 1937's Mit brennender Sorge). Smaller religious minorities faced harsher repression, with the Jews of Germany expelled for extermination on the grounds of racist ideology, and Jehovah's Witnesses ruthlessly persecuted for refusing both military service and any allegiance to Hitler's movement. Writers including Heschel and Toland, have drawn links between Hitler's Catholic background and his anti-Semitism.".
