After World War II, the victors painted Adolf Hitler as evil incarnate— even the Devil himself. But the truth is more complex than the propaganda that followed. Hitler and the Third Reich openly aligned themselves with what the NSDAP called “Positive Christianity.” This was not a rejection of faith but an attempt to root society in biblical morality. One did not have to profess Christ personally, but to belong to the German nation meant honoring the timeless commands of Scripture: do not kill, do not steal, honor father and mother, refrain from blasphemy, speak the truth, and guard against covetousness. In short, German identity was tied to living out a moral order grounded in God’s law.

Christianity in the Third Reich: Untangling the Narrative
Modern history often paints Adolf Hitler as a man who despised Christianity, using it only as a temporary tool before seeking to replace it with paganism or occult mysticism. According to this view, the Nazi regime was destined to eradicate the church from German life. Yet when we examine Hitler’s own speeches, the NSDAP party program, and the intellectual currents of the time, a very different picture emerges. Rather than rejecting Christianity, the party formally grounded itself in what it called Positive Christianity—a way to unify German Christians under a common identity while rejecting Marxist materialism and Jewish influence.
The NSDAP’s 25-Point Program explicitly declared special protection for Christian denominations and attacked those who undermined the faith. Hitler himself regularly spoke of Jesus as a bastion of strength and truth, drawing on an older German intellectual tradition that separated Christ from worldliness. In Mein Kampf, Hitler blasted neopagan movements as divisive and impractical, praising instead Christianity’s inner strength, intolerance of paganism, and ability to unify a people under a clear worldview. He often contrasted the “kernel of Christianity” with what he considered later corruptions of church politics, but his admiration for its unifying power remained clear.
Conflict with the churches certainly did arise, especially when Protestant and Catholic leaders resisted NSDAP interference. The failed experiment of the Reich Church and the emergence of the Confessing Church under figures like Marxist spies, Bonhoeffer, showed that Christians were not unified in their response to the regime. Inside the party, a vocal miniscule minority of neopagan and anti-clerical figures such as Bormann and Himmler tried to push Germany toward a more mystical or even atheistic worldview, creating sharp divisions. Yet Hitler repeatedly distanced himself from their projects, ordering them to stop certain anti-Christian policies and reaffirming Positive Christianity in his public addresses.
The story of Christianity in the Third Reich is therefore more complex than the popular narrative allows. While individual leaders like Himmler or Rosenberg flirted with anti-Christian or pagan ideas, Hitler and the NSDAP program remained officially tied to Positive Christianity, portraying their movement as a continuation of Christ’s struggle against Jewish materialism. Whether one accepts this theology or not, the historical evidence shows Hitler was not secretly building a pagan empire, but rather claimed to defend Christianity of Christendom for the German people.
