Was Hitler anti-Christian? Richard Weikart vs Richard Carrier




Unbelievable show

Summary: <br> Hitler is often claimed to have been an atheist or a Christian by believers and skeptics eager to put the dictator in the other's camp. Christian historian Richard Weikart argues he was neither in his new book "Hitler's Religion: The twisted beliefs that drove the Third Reich".<br> Richard Carrier is an atheist historian who has researched Hitler's purported anti-Christian statements often quoted by apologists in his book "Hitler, Homer, Bible, Christ". He says that Hitler was anti-Catholic but thought of himself as a "positivist" Christian. In contrast Weikart argues Hitler was a pantheist who personally despised Christianity and only used it in public to aid his rise to power. <br> For Richard Weikart's "Hitler's Religion": <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hitlers-Religion-Twisted-Beliefs-Drove-ebook/dp/B01MG45IZ8">https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hitlers-Religion-Twisted-Beliefs-Drove-ebook/dp/B01MG45IZ8</a> <br> For Richard Carrier: <a href="http://www.richardcarrier.info/">http://www.richardcarrier.info/</a><br> Order Unbelievable?
