4. No, it is not that simple
The Nazis, at the time of their rise to power, had no longer a socialist agenda.
But: Pretty much the same is to be said about Hitler and Christianity: like many of his henchmen, he came from a simple southern German/ Austrian Catholic family. Hitler started railing against Christianity shortly after his failed putsch, even the infamous "Mein Kampf" does include many anti-Christian passages (one might argue that the whole nonsense was totally anti-Christian in it's essence).
Yes, the Nazis found many supporters in the Churches, but saying that the Nazis had a Christian-Right direction is simply untrue - their coalition partner did, though.
