[Dan Evans]

Of course the Nazi regime was religious...even hyperreligious. All of its rituals were patterned after classic Norse, Protestant or Catholic religious rituals. The SS was patterned after the Jesuits.

But it was a fake and pagan. It was made-up. He took the trappings of the ancient Romans and searched for origins of an "Aryan" race. Hitler appealed to racial pride. He appealed to the vanity of the Germans, not to any god.

Fake and Pagan to whom?

Certainly not to the Nazis. The Creed of Nazism was preached from pulpits from Braunschweig to Hoffheim. It only becomes pagan and fake in retrospect. It wasn't at the time. While there were Bonhoffers they were few....
