Was vegetarian Hitler a Christian anti Semite or a rationalist atheist? Or did he believe religion is believed by the poor, ridiculed by the educated, and useful to the demagogues. Here is
a good review of Hitler's Religion by Richard Weikart. Here is an
AOA analysis of the biological Hitler-an armed Darwin. The writer who best describes the racial understanding of Hitler is Timothy Snyder in his
Black Earth: The Holocaust as History and Warning.
Weikart correctly understands Hitler as no atheist. Hitler believed there was a great order in Nature and the leader of a great race must align himself within that order. Nature rewards the strongest group with the most durable survival. Hitler's God was Nature and Darwin was her prophet.
