Most Germans during the period 1933-1945 were most certainly not atheists. Even now, in Germany, you're registered by default in a religion and have to go to some lengths to convince them you're an atheist and should not be paying the Church tax.

Didn't suggest most Germans *were* atheist. Just like most Russians weren't. I was referring to the leadership. See my previous post about that issue.

Even if you've never been baptised? How do they decide which religion to assign you to?
The individuals who perpetrated the German atrocities were NOT church goers at best and thought they were gods...Don't cloud the issue with weak attempts to cover the crimes that godless people have perpetrated throughout man's history.
