      You say he was, and then post an article that concludes

      it seems evident his religion was closest to pantheism

      and then talks about how he constantly talked about god as this or god as that. Pantheism is not Atheism and the constant babbling of what god does or wants as if it was fact he exists certainly isn’t either.

      Then there’s “Mein Kampf” where Hitler himself talks about continuing “the work of the Lord”.

      So glaube ich heute im Sinne des allmächtigen Schöpfers zu handeln: Indem ich mich des Juden erwehre, kämpfe ich für das Werk des Herren.

      So today I believe I am acting in the spirit of the almighty Creator: By resisting the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord.

      This senctence is in basically every german history schoolbook.

      A speech of him from 1927:

      Wir müssen Gott dan­ken für diese Gnade. (…) Gott hat Völker, aber keine Klassen geschaffen.

      We must thank God for this grace. (…) God created peoples, not classes.

      And a speech from 1939:

      Es sei „eine Anmaßung, anzunehmen, daß der liebe Gott die Welt nur für ein oder zwei Völker geschaffen habe.“

      It is “presumptuous to assume that the dear/good Lord created the world only for one or two peoples.”

      “Der liebe Gott” is a german christian notion I cannot find a good translation for.

      Spoken like a real Atheist, eh?

      Hitler constantly talks about God, what he thinks he wants him to do or what would serve his (Gods) purpose. Hitler. Was. Not. An. Atheist.

      Every attempt to make him a “not christian” comes down to “no true scotsman”, as you skillfully demonstrate:

      he was preaching an extreme idology that did not belong to any religon

        Every attempt to make him a “not christian” comes down to “no true scotsman”, as you skillfully demonstrate:

        This is literally every argument Christians make in defense of their hateful ideology.

        They really should change the name of the fallacy to “no true Christian”
