More on Hitler and Christianity:

The Goebbels Diaries 1939-1941, translated and edited by Fred Taylor:

p 304:

(Hitler) "hates Christianity, because it has crippled all that is noble in humanity. According to Schopenhauer, Christianity and syphilis have made humanity unhappy and unfree."

That about says it:   that was the parallel for the Nazis:   Christianity and syphilis, the twin plagues.

I wonder how many of our Mudcat atheists would share this view.
