Best Answer

There were no religious resistance groups that fought against the Nazis. Leaders of most major religions not directly targeted by the Nazis were actually pro-Nazi, such as the Catholic Church and numerous Imams and Muftis in the Middle East and the Balkans. The Orthodox Church opposed the Nazis in principle (since they had defeated Greece and attacked Russia), but did not advocate resistance to the Nazis and did not defend the minorities attacked in the Holocaust.

The resistance groups that did organize were nationalists, socialists, and partisans in any given occupied area.
