But Hitler was a Christian.

We can toss around things back and forth, but Hitler was most certainly not an atheist. He publicly spoke out against atheism. There is no evidence to show that he didn't believe in any deity.

I really think they need to keep a close eye on these Extremist of the Atheistic faith,
for it is from this small group (very tiny group)
in which the next Hitlitarian dictator may arise.
If one of these people are placed in a position of power and with todays technology and nuclear weapons they will have the possibility to do great harm.
Extreme Atheists usually begin with Church burnings
and defamation of Character,
they have no respect for that which is love and life
so they may look at other human beings as just animals...
this is reflected in their sociopathy towards others
and may even beget predatory instinct toward other fellow human beings.
Atheists in general feel they are their own God as it is
and this gives them the self-righteous power to make their own laws and rules.
Will they be able to chisel them into stone ?
I highly doubt it...

I would say that it is doubtful that he isn't a Christian, of course there is no way of conclusively testing this. We have conflicting quotes from the same individual, conflicting accounts of what a Christian is, and no way of going into the mind of Hitler himself to prove it.
"To whom should propaganda be addressed? … It must be addressed always and exclusively to the masses… The function of propaganda does not lie in the scientific training of the individual, but in calling the masses' attention to certain facts, processes, necessities, etc., whose significance is thus for the first time placed within their field of vision. The whole art consists in doing this so skilfully that everyone will be convinced that the fact is real, the process necessary, the necessity correct, etc. But since propaganda is not and cannot be the necessity in itself … its effect for the most part must be aimed at the emotions and only to a very limited degree at the so-called intellect… it's soundness is to be measured exclusively by its effective result". (Main Kampf, Vol 1, Ch 6 and Ch 12)
