Reply #13: Which of the websites that I gave do you think single out Christians ...

... for praise? I did not ask which "Christians" or even which religious people should be admired; I asked, instead, who should religious people admire, a specific question intended to invite reflection; nothing in my question presupposes that a religious person might not most admire a particular atheist, for example.

I absolutely agree with you that churches across Europe contained an appalling number of Nazi sympathizers. And I think that your complaint that "a few good Christians" did "too little, way too late" is a defensible summary of the history.

But we must know the history in order to learn from it, and we must know something of its particulars, because an overly broad brush may obscure the very details that might be most helpful. I would suggest that when you assert broadly that "hatred was propagated by the Catholic church," rather than identifying the particular bad actors, you are guilty of precisely this obscurantism.
