The frightening thing is that Nazi leaders weren't agnostics and atheists - most considered themselves to be good Christians!
Hermann Göring: God gave the savior to the German people. We have faith, deep and unshakeable faith, that he [Hitler] was sent to us by God to save Germany.
Rudolf Hess: With all our powers we will endeavour to be worthy of the Fuhrer thou, O Lord, has sent us!
Heinrich Himmler: The mass murderer Himmler got brought up as a devout Catholic, like young Hitler, and was careful to attend mass regularly.
Joseph Goebbels: The pious Catholic parents of Joseph Goebbels raised him and his two brothers in that faith. He spoke of Hitler as “either Christ or St. John.” “Hitler, I love you!” he wrote in his diary.
Hermann Göring: Although he himself [Hitler] was a Catholic, he wished the Protestant Church to have a stronger position in Germany, since Germany was two-thirds Protestant.
Joseph Goebbels: We have a feeling that Germany has been transformed into a great house of God, including all classes, professions and creeds, where the Fuhrer as our mediator stood before the throne of the Almighty.

Well, take a look at some of the far right nutball zealots on here. Some of these lot support killing folk for being "sexually immoral" etc and where it comes to religious extremism under any stripe it's often full of callousness and cruelty towards others. Ever seen 'The Magdalene Sisters'?
