how do you explain that one?
What most of you do not realize is that Hitler was actually a very educated, smart, and gave good speeches to the people that most Germans liked him, and selected him to hold the power.
However, since what he has done to millions of Europeans (Including the Jews, Romans, Gays, Mentally ill, etc.) his reputation has been ruined.

German Church supported all German people. However, they were forced to support him, otherwise they would have been killed too. Thousands of priests and bishops were killed by the Nazi's.

Jews used to stone early Christians for believe in Christ; So are you to blame all Jews today for the evil things they have done? I don't think so.

Well Hitler died, and so did the Nazi party, and everything was over.

Mussolini, just like Hitler, were raised "Christians" but rejected their faith, hated it, and become atheists.
Mussolini's mother was religious Catholic, while his father was a non-believer, and never attended church.

I think "bad parenting" is what seems to be the problem.

FYI:

Deists = for all effects and purposes, atheists.
Christians = for all effects and purposes, secret atheists.

Did Hitler become an atheist when the first international Treaty he signed with the Vatican?

Hitler signed a concordat treaty with the Vatican


Concordat Watch - Germany | Hitler’s concordat poster

Concordat Poster



Translation

Why is a Catholic obliged to vote for the parliamentary list of Adolf Hitler? Because in the National Socialist state intrinsically and through the Reichskonkordat

1. The Faith is protected,
2. Peace with the Church is assured,
3. Public morality is preserved,
4. Sunday is hallowed,
5. Catholic schools are maintained,
6. The Catholic conscience is no longer burdened,
7. A Catholic has equal rights before the law and in the life of the nation,
8. Catholic organisations and associations, insofar as they exclusively serve religious, charitable and cultural purposes, can operate freely.

Therefore a Catholic is obliged on 12 November [1933] to vote thus:

Referendum: yes
Parliamentary election: Adolf Hitler


full text of the concordat


Concordat Watch - Germany | Reichskonkordat (with Hitler, 1933): Full text

Article 21

Catholic religious education in elementary, vocational, secondary schools and institutions of higher learning is a regular school subject, and is to be taught in accordance with the principles of the Catholic Church. In religious education, special emphasis will be given to inculcating a patriotic, civic and social sense of duty in the spirit of the Christian faith and the moral code, just as happens in all other subjects. The curriculum and the selection of textbooks for religious education will be arranged in agreement with the Church authorities. The opportunity will be given to the Church authorities to check, with the agreement of the school authorities, whether the pupils receive religious education in accordance with the teachings and specifications of the Church.

Nobody know what the Presidents felt inside themselves. So far, most have considered it politically necessary to proclaim their Christianity.

That's absolutely contrary to everything the atheist posters in this forum say, as well as being at odds with published research about religion and IQ relationships. Like I said above, we don't really know how some Presidents really felt about religion; only what they said publicly.

Even if it wasn't, it's hard to trust atheists becoming in the congress, holding public offices, and running for president due to the past and present history.
Pure garbage! The US positively, absolutely, was NOT founded on Christian belief and principles. From the 1st Amendment to the writings of Jefferson and Madison as well as to the Treaty of Tripoli, it is well documented that a secular government was established. BTW, you've had atheists holding office many times. You just don't hear them announce it. You probably trusted them too.

Until the mid 19th Century, "e pluribus unim" was the only motto printed on currency. Now, why should the federal government be legislating what credit cards issued by private companies need to look like? BTW, the UNITED STATES Supreme Court allows "In God We Trust," not as a religious statement, but just as a "feel good" slogan. You don't have to believe me. Go look up Supreme Court case law. In spite of your OPINION, not everyone is proud of that motto.

Many people, including some atheist organizations and the ACLU, place a high value on the rule of law and adherence to the Constitution. Obviously, you don't. I suppose that means we can't trust you to follow any other laws either.

None of this is relevant to anything else you said about wanting to change history and the US Constitution.
