    Yeah... pushing the goalpost from nazi's to specifically the SS. The SS was by far predominantly Christian.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideology_of_the_SS#Rejection_of_Christian_precepts
    All SS men were required to list themselves as Protestant, Catholic or gottgläubig ("Believer in God") ... by 1938 "only 21.9 percent of SS members described themselves as gottgläubig, whereas 54 percent remained Protestant and just under 24 percent Catholic."

    That was in 1938, before the war began, and the reason the Nazis wanted to know their religious views was to wean them away from Christianity. Did you read the Wikipedia article? There is also
    an article on Himmler, Hitler's right-hand man, the architect of the Holocaust, and a virulent anti-Christian.

    notme, you still haven't explained why, if the Nazis were Christians, they wanted to ban the Bible from being published as advocated by Alfred Rosenberg, or why, at the Nuremberg Trials, evidence was shown
    that stated, "Important leaders of the National Socialist party would have liked complete extirpation of Christainity and the substitution of a purely racial religion."
