Hitler had been baptized, as had Josef Stalin. That didn’t keep them from turning into atheistic monsters of mass murder. They both ruled in the name of human perfectibility devoid of divine influence.

Those who point up Hitler’s Catholic origins are usually more interested in attacking the Catholic Church.

Or Christianity in general. I see libs all the time trying to present Nazism as a Christian movement run by believing Christians. They can cite a few public pronouncements by Hitler in support of this, but anyone who has studied the issue knows that the Nazi leadership was radically anti-Christian, believing Christianity to be a "soft" religion irredeemably sullied by its Jewish origins. Public statements to the contrary were merely cynical attempts to mislead the German public, as when Obama pretends to be a Christian. (No, I don't think he's a Muslim, I think he's an agnostic/atheist.)
