Hitler and all the dictators of the world pretending and hiding behind religion so they would get people to believe their lies.
Hitler was quite the Christian and clearly believed he was doing god's will.
See, this is the problem when people believe in invisible supernatural beings that have some hand in our fates. Not only is there absolutely no reason to believe such a thing, whether or not there is any ultimate tuth to the notion, it can so often lead to really atrocious, heinous acts.
I feel religion in itself can be a very positive thing--holy texts of many cultures often contain great wisdom and beauty, churches provide fellowship and security to many, the religious impulse can lead people to be more charitable, to work on makin themselves and their communities better, etc.
But all religions also include extremist zealot fundamentalist elements, and as we know, this can be very dangerous.
Some people claim to hear the voice of god guiding them through life. There is no more validity or truth to that assertion than there is to the claim of the young person strapping themselves with dynamite to blow up innocent people in a crowded square in the Middle East. Many of those people are also 100% convinced they are hearing the voice of god and doing god's will. Their claim is equally valid.
