Atheists, Work With Us for Peace, Pope Says on Christmas

34. Nazis were religious.

My gosh ... even a cursory reading of mid-20th century history will clue you in to the religiousness of Nazis.

Hitler was raised a Catholic and remained a Catholic ... he made contradictory statements about his and his ideology's acceptance of a deity. There were Catholic and Lutheran leaders who made accommodations with the Nazi regime. Of course, as we all know, all the German soldiers wore military paraphernalia printed or engraved with 'Gott mit uns'.

Other Nazis were very taken with Nordic mythology that is chockfull of gods.

Though there are some atheists who seem intent upon forming a kind of alternative 'church', the vast majority (in my estimation) of atheists are independent and individualistic activists --- they are not out and about telling anyone they are nonbelievers as soon as they start doing volunteer work (unlike most religious people and/or groups).

Let's face it, most mass murders and genocides in world history have come at the hands of the high religiously motivated ... the Roman Catholic church for incredible numbers of slaughters in the west. Pope Francis really does need to worry more about conservative 'Christians' and their proclivity to urge war, before he concerns himself with atheists these days.
