I don’t think whether they were really Christian or not makes much difference to the argument. Sure the top of the party may not have been devout church goers, but the population needed a religious edge to be pushed into war.
So I ask myself: if the nazi were outgoing atheists world war 2 may not have happened?
It had little to do with religion, though. It was more to do with eugenics and science. There is no way you could justify the holocaust using the Bible.
Identifying as Christian and actually being one are completely separate things. Hitler pretended to be a Christian in public yet hated it in private.
