the Nazis were christians, wholly supported by the Holy Roman Catholic Church. I get so upset when revisionists talk about how they were godless atheists. While the personal relgious beliefs of der Fuhrer are in question, the official belief of the National Socialist party was Roman catholicism.
The so called Soviet athiests actually used atheism to hide behind as they wrested power from the Russian Orthodox Church.
I would venture to bet that maybe 40% of all US Presidents are either agnostics or outright atheists, but to say so in the USA is a political death wish.
