Was Nazism a religion

Answer 1

See: http://www.germanculture.com.ua/library/facts/bl_religion.htm "Prior to World War II, about two-thirds of the German population was Protestant and the remainder Roman Catholic. Bavaria was a Roman Catholic stronghold. Roman Catholics were also well represented in the populations of Baden-Württemberg, the Saarland, and in much of the Rhineland. Elsewhere in Germany, especially in the north and northeast, Protestants were in the majority. During the Hitler regime, except for individual acts of resistance, the established churches were unable or unwilling to mount a serious challenge to the supremacy of the state. A Nazi, Ludwig Müller, was installed as the Lutheran bishop in Berlin. Although raised a Roman Catholic, Hitler respected only the power and organization of the Roman Catholic Church, not its tenets. In July 1933, shortly after coming to power, the Nazis scored their first diplomatic success by concluding a concordat with the Vatican, regulating church-state relations. In return for keeping the right to maintain denominational schools nationwide, the Vatican assured the Nazis that Roman Catholic clergy would refrain from political activity, that the government would have a say in the choice of bishops, and that changes in diocesan boundaries would be subject to government approval. However, the Nazis soon violated the concordat's terms, and by the late 1930s almost all denominational schools had been abolished. Toward the end of 1933, an opposition group under the leadership of Lutheran pastors Martin Niemöller and Dietrich Bonhoeffer formed the "Confessing Church." The members of this church opposed the takeover of the Lutheran Church by the Nazis. Many of its members were eventually arrested, and some were executed--among them, Bonhoeffer--by the end of World War II."

Answer 2

No Nazism wasn't really a religion. It's actually a political Party made a couple years before WWI and died shortly after. When Adolf Hitler revived Nazism and 2 years before WWII ended and when the Holocaust was starting, Hitler literally treated Nazism like a religion. Later others started to treat it like a religion and acted like it was a religion.

Answer 3

Nazism presented itself as a national salvation movement and as a kind of pseudo-religion. However, the great majority of the German population was, at least nominally, Christian.

Answer 4

Catholicism was not only the main religion in Nazi Germany, it was the state religion. The Catholic Church supported the Nazis, a position which changed rapidly in the mid-1940s.

Answer 5

The majority of Germans were (at least nominally) Christian - mostly Protestant or Roman Catholic.
