Hitler and party spokesmen, among them, Alfred Rosenberg, Goebbels, Rudolf Hess, and Goring were determined to rid Germany of Christianity. They removed the Old Testament from the Bible along with Paul's Epistles because of their Jewish authorship stating that Nazi and Christian beliefs were “incompatible” owing to the fact that Christianity came out of Judaism.
Martin Bormann, the second most powerful official in the Nazi Party after 1941, argued that Nazi and Christian beliefs were “incompatible,” primarily because the essential elements of Christianity were “taken over from Judaism.” Bormann's views were shared by Hitler who criticized the Christian ideals of meekness and guilt on the grounds that they repressed the violent instincts necessary to prevent inferior races from dominating Aryans. They held that Christ had been a blond-haired, blue-eyed Aryan.
Their intention was to ultimately replace Christianity with a racist form of warrior paganism and Protestant and Catholic parents were pressurised into removing their children from religious classes and were to register them for ideological instruction instead. The children began their meals by thanking the Fuehrer and not God for their food.
In the Nazi schools charged with training Germany's future elite, Christian prayers were replaced with Teutonic rituals and sun-worship ceremonies. The Bible was replaced with Indian (Hindu) and German literature and their ceremonies became a sequence of nationalistic sermons, German classical music, and political hymns. The Christian cross was replaced with a “crooked” pagan cross called the swastika which is the symbol of the sun. Its use was abandoned in Pagan magical circles because of Hitler’s association with it.
Catholic newspapers were banned and so were young peoples groups. While this was happening to the Roman Catholics Hitler, Goring, and other Nazi minded clerks were organising the Protestant churches into a government dominated Reich’s church known as "The German Faith Movement." Before Hitler began his "Final Solution" against the Jews he first arrested eight hundred pastors and more were rounded up in 1938 until the Christian church (Lutheran) in Germany ceased to exist.
At the same time Hitler needed the support of the Roman Catholic Church and in 1934 he concluded a concordat that granted the Roman Catholic Church more rights in the German Reich than had ever been granted before. This was viewed by Hitler as his way into the circle of internationally recognized political powers.
The German Faith Movement was anti-Marxist, anti-Semitic and the traditional Christian doctrine of the brotherhood of man was totally rejected. The German Faith Movement was led by a fanatical Nazi called Joachim Hossenfelder. Hitler became the Reichs-bishop while Mueller became the titular head of the old Lutheran Church.
At a meeting at the Berlin Sport Palace Nazi leaders demanded that pastors who refused to accept the new doctrines would be dismissed, tortured and killed. The uproar was so loud and prolonged that Mueller had to forbid further political activity on the part of the German Faith Movement while a third of the true clergymen joined the Pastors’ Emergency Association, founded by Niemoeller to range themselves against the heresy.
Hitler said in Mein Kampf "My feeling as a Christian (the liar) points me to my Lord and Saviour as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded by a few followers (his disciples were Jews), recognized them for what they were and summoned men to fight against them (Jesus never fought against his disciples, Jews-or anyone) and who, God's truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter" (the twisted liar).
