No, Hitler was NOT an Atheist

I think if I hear this one more time, I'm going to scream.  I know I'm really beating the dead horse today, but goddammit, people should know better. 

FOR THE LAST AND FINAL TIME:

"Gott Mit Uns" translates to "God with us" or "God is on our side" (as it's used today)

Hitler was a Christian, in fact a Catholic.  He has never been  excommunicated from the Catholic church, so he's still a Catholic today.  The Pope is lying when he says Nazis were Atheists.  He was there, he was in the Hitler Youth, he should know.  He was most likely required to chant the slogan.

It doesn't take a lot of research to realize that there is an anti-Semitic slant to much of the New Testament.  Passion plays (see The Passion of the Christ) were popular in Germany prior to World War II, and they helped the anti-Semitic message of the Nazis, one they validated with scripture! After all, didn't Judas betray Jesus?  Didn't the Jews shout "Crucify Him!" when Pilate wanted to let him go? 

I'm sorry if you are religious and offended by this, but it's true.  It is not correct to blame Nazi atrocities on Atheism, it is very much part of the colorful Christian history.
