Was Hitler an Atheist?: How Hitler Exploited Religion to Seize Power (Unabridged)

Was Hitler an atheist? The answer is sometimes ambiguous. Some political pundits claim Hitler was an atheist, and others claim he was Christian. In the turbulent years of Nazi Germany, Adolf Hitler cynically used both the Protestant and Catholic churches to strengthen his grip on power.

Although some religious leaders opposed him, many either accepted or actively supported his ascent. How and why did these powerful institutions allow themselves to become tools of a brutal dictatorship? This book explores the complex relationship between the churches and Hitler's regime.
