He was a self proclaimed athiest, this is true. He denied the church.

Of course he wasn't a Christian. He might have called himself that, but his actions prove that he was not.
All the documentaries I have watched on Hitler indicated that he attended Catholic church as a youth, but not as an adult. However, he remarked on the importance of symbolism in the catholic church and exploited symbolism to the extreme. One such documentary claimed that his use of the swastika was taken from an Indian (East), good luck symbol. A version of the swastika was also noted to be used by American Indians of the desert south west but did not relate to its use by Germany. The documentaries never indicated that he ever attended church or practiced Catholicism as an adult. The Nazi party was supposed to take the place of religion for all Germans.Do cite
Actually, he had ties to the Catholic church his whole life and used Christian and pagan imagery constantly.
Just keep lying, though.

The swastika (from Sanskrit svástika) is an equilateral cross with its arms bent at right angles, in either right-facing (卐) form or its mirrored left-facing (卍) form. Archaeological evidence of swastika-shaped ornaments dates from the Neolithic period and was first found in the Indus Valley Civilization of the Indian Subcontinent. It occurs today in the modern day culture of India, sometimes as a geometrical motif and sometimes as a religious symbol; it remains widely used in Eastern and Dharmic religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism.

I agree. Although Christians claim the "...do unto others that which you would have done unto you...", there are parallel, almost word-for-word versions of that, which pre-date the Bible, I believe, in the Confucianism and Buddhism. It is just common sense that is evident in the fact that all primitive peoples had taboos against, and sanctions for, murder. But, oh boy! Do the Christians like to believe that their religion is singly responsible for all morals.All this post was trying to get at was that Atheists have no moral guidelines and therefore have no morals, what I find funny is that religious people need these moral guidelines handed to them and a lot of Atheists live there lives with a perfect set of "socially acceptable" morals that they themselves have created the guidelines for. To even consider the idea that because someone does not believe in a God has no set of morals is actually insulting yourself, what you're indirectly saying is that if YOU had no religion, you'd have no set of morals.
