It is with a great deal of wonder how someone can assert that Hitler wished to build something called a "Atheist Pagan Europe" (if one is atheist (lacks belief in all of the Gods), one is generally incapable of being a Pagan (reveres Goddesses and/or Gods). Just how Mister Boblitt thinks Hitler could have done such a thing by his, Hitler's, appealing to Jesus as God is a mystery; just how Hitler was to convince the hundreds of millions of Christians in Europe to become an "atheist Pagan" is an even greater mystery.
Tell me about it. A pagan being one who ignores messianic prophesy by, say, pretending that a semihuman subdeity with an expiry date could be the messiah [for the slow ones, we're talking about Jeepers here], Hitler would make a better pagan as a christworshipper than as a nullfidian.
That said, the rest of this is a pretty good point. Was Hitler a christworshipper? Iunno. He said he was. Just like Marion 'Pat' Robertson, Jerry 'I'll Forgive Larry Flint after I've Sued Him to Death' Fallwell, and George 'Is Our Children Learning' Bush, Junior.
My thinking is this: if I conjure the arrogance to question Hitler's honesty [notwithstanding the fact that he was a truly stupid creature whose honesty, as it might have existed, may only have resulted from his intellectual inability to produce a coherent falsehood], then, as a simple matter of ethics [being atheistic, I'm ironically allowed to have those things], I've got to question the honesty of all self-proclaimed [if often self-misspelled] christworshippers. Hitler, by simple self-appointment, was precisely as christian as any other moron who's never managed to read the entire bible. And that, based on my research, equates to All of Them.
In 'truth', for all that matters, Hitler may have renounced Jeepers in favour of Gincentianne the Unusually Purple One in 1937. In fact, he claimed to be a christworshipper, which is, evidently, precisely all the qualification one needs to support the assertion.
