The point is Nazism was post-Christian. It was the first post-modern ideology that drew upon the central scientific theory of the 19th century for its legitimation. Changing the subject does not in anyway refute the Darwinian inspiration behind Nazi thought. After all, Hitler made the argument that human nature should be driven not by morality or by religious scruples but by the iron law of Nature: the survival of the fittest. There was and is nothing Christian about Nazi dogma.

Holy cow, what ignorance!

Naziism explicitly appealed to primitivism and pre-Christian pagan Teutonicism (though it was not averse to exploiting the strong veins of Christian anti-Semitism going back at least as far as Martin Luther). It was expressly opposed to modern concepts of "Jewish science".
