But anyway, another one of their favorite tricks is to revise (ie: pervert) history to the point that they claim Hitler was an atheist and so the horrors of The 3rd Reich were possible only because he espoused non-belief, which of course invites the inference that Atheist = Nazi.
Well, gosh - guess what?
It's popular among Christian apologists to claim that Hitler, the Nazis, and the Holocaust are all consequences of atheism, secularism, and liberalism. Such arguments fly in the face of reality: Adolf Hitler regularly proclaimed his faith in God, Nazi ideology was committed to supporting Christianity (on its own terms, of course), and Nazi anti-Semitism was firmly grounded in Christian anti-Semitism. Hitler's theism, religiosity, and Christianity are supported in his own words. His beliefs were not quite what most Christians today believe, but they are part of the same family and nowhere near secular atheism.
