Why did Hitler hate Christians?

Answer 1

In fact, it's true... he persecuted Christians... but the term "christian" is used to generally. He persecuted those people who didn't support him and his ideas... i.e. those christians who explained they wouldn't support him, because this would interfere with their religion (like Jehovah's Witnesses, etc.)

Answer:There is a lot of misunderstaning about this. Nobody under Nazi rule was persecuted simply for being a Christian, and Christians were not persecuted as such by Hitler. However, as stated, the Nazi regime did persecute opponents. It also persecuted the Poles, for example. Now some of these opponents were Christians, and in some cases opposition, for example to the euthanasia programme, arose from Christian principles. The great majority of the Poles were Roman Catholics, but were ill treated because they were Poles, not because they were Roman Catholics. It is very misleading indeed to say that 'the Nazis persecuted Christians'. They certainly persecuted people who happened to be Christian, but that is not the same thing. Answer:The Nazi regime certainly killed and persecuted Catholics for their religion, as well as Lutherans.

At least 3,000 Catholic priests, deacons, and bishops were imprisoned at Dachau concentration camp. 1,034 priests died there. Other clergymen at Dachau included 109 Protestant ministers, 22 Greek Orthodox, and 2 Muslims.

Hitler closed religious schools, shut down Christian organizations, ordered the murder of priests, not to mention the German leader of Catholic Action. He had Christian civil servants fired, he confiscated church property, censored religious newspapers. as well as sending thousands of priests, nuns, and laypeople to die in extermination camps.

Hitler saw the church as the most dangerous impediment to his power in Germany, and as his biographers have noted, spent much time trying to pressure the church into silence.

When Dutch bishops spoke out publicly, Hitler had 40,000 people arrested, but the church increased its efforts to save Jews by issuing forged documents to protect them. The state of Israel says the Catholic church saved 800,000 Jews: more than any other country or organization.

Answer 2

• Hitler was Roman Catholic, he did not hate the Christians, all one need do is read his book Mein Kampf and you will see that he purported to be Christian and Hitler would say he was doing the work of Jesus by killing the Jews. Many Christians did not like that Hitler did what he did in the name of their God and was giving Christianity a bad name, so many of them wrote books saying that he was an atheist and that he really actually hated Christians. But when asked for proof of these allegations, they were never willing to provide it!
• Quotes by Hitler saying that he hated Christians are made up by them hoping that people will not associate him with their religion.
• If you find a unedited copy of his speeches, then watch any documentaries on him and you will see that nearly all of them are edited by taking out parts where he talks about Jesus and god. If you want to know more about him, I suggest getting in contact with The Jewish Museum Berlin, they will tell you the same thing! Wolfgang Haenel spent five years diligently investigating the book 'Conversations With Hitler' before announcing his findings in 1983 at a revisionist history conference in West Germany. The renowned Conversations with Hitler, he declared are a total fraud. The book has no value "except as a document of Allied war Propaganda."
