Was Hitler a christian? and atheist morallity

[Papewaio]

Church is a club for sinners.
Hitler was one of the worst sinners.
Therefore Hitler could join the club.

Considering in the quote he is rallying against communism and atheism one can readily assume Hitler was not an atheist. Hitler would be in the same category as some as the violent fringe Christians who believe they are so right that they can hurl abuse at soldiers funerals, shoot doctors they disagree with or show gods love to underage boys. Until they are excommunicated, scorned, sent to the law and have their support bases turn from them I'm inclined to believe by emperical evidence that their actions are supported by the wider Christian community.

So instead of casting stones based on a lack of evidence get your own houses in order.

If the hypothesis was that Hitler was an atheist and ergo all atheist must take responsibility for his actions.

In My Dishonorable Opinion not so humbly belive that the same brush can be used to paint up a black and yellow hazard line on the beam in ones eye.

The hypothesis should be able to be applied that a random official of the Church has done wrong therefore all members of the Church must be responsible.

Since there is a whole weight of evidence that shows priests have buggered young boys, that the church's have covered up and hounded the victims and only under immense public pressure slightly admitted there might be an issue. That this weigh of empirical evidence far out ways the evidence in favour of Hitler being an atheist.

So where is the outrage and the rising up against such crimes in the church? When young people can be raped by people in authority and the blame placed on the victims and systematically covered up. Where is the voice of the moderates of the church against these crimes. I don't see or hear them actively campaigning, they leave it to the victims, the families of the deceased and external parties.

So why can't I say that all Christians are tainted? It seems to be the long shot that is drawn on Hitler and others being atheists used to blame atheists in general. It is also the same thinking used repeatedly to demonise Muslims, the repeated cry of "I don't see the moderates rising against the extremists."

Yet here we have wealthy individuals by world standards, who are part of the majority belief system in their countries, who are educated and upstanding individuals. Yet I don't see a million person march against predatory priests.

Why not use the same standards to tar and feather atheists and Muslims?

Because that would be the act of a moron. Crimes belong must often to an individual. Acts of conspiracy belong to the individuals in the group. What is distasteful is the silent support of the powerful, the craven way we humans will close together to protect 'our own' even when they go against our own internal moral compass or the lettered law of the group. But that is a fault in all human groups.
