if this were to happen, then they will be unable to govern society according to
their fascist ideals. For this reason, they seek to give the impression that they
are committed to religion, although they also try to prevent its propagation
through various measures and practices.
The history of the 20th century is full of such examples.

The Nazis' Hatred of Religion

We have already examined the roots of Nazi ideology and its attitude to
religion. As is shown in the examples we have considered, the Nazi ideology
was perverse and opposed to all divine religions. The foundations of this
ideology rest on Nietzsche's anti-religious philosophy, and Darwin's atheist
theory of evolution which denies the fact of creation. The Nazis' perspective of
ethics was in imitation of the pagan culture of ancient Greece and pre-Christian
barbarian German tribes: Nazism was a pagan, idolatrous ideology.
This fact has been expressed by many commentators on the subject. In
an article titled "Darwinism and the Nazi Race Holocaust," the American
researcher Jerry Bergman describes the Nazis' view of religion as such ,
Expunging of the Judeo-Christian doctrine of the divine origin of
humans from mainline German (liberal) theology and its schools, and
replacing it with Darwinism, openly contributed to the acceptance of
Social Darwinism that culminated in the tragedy of the holocaust. 102

Daniel Gasman, the author of The Scientific Origins of National Socialism,
agrees:
[Hitler] stressed and singled out the idea of biological evolution as the
most forceful weapon against traditional religion and he repeatedly
condemned Christianity for its opposition to the teachings of evolution.
For Hitler evolution was the hallmark of modern science and culture,
and he defended its veracity as tenaciously as Haeckel. 103

Hitler once revealed his hatred of religion when he bluntly stated that
religion is an:
…organized lie [that] must be smashed. The State must remain the
absolute master. When I was younger, I thought it was necessary to set
about [destroying religion] …with dynamite. I've since realized there's
room for a little subtlety... The final state must be… in St. Peter's Chair,
a senile officiant; facing him a few sinister old women… The young and
healthy are on our side… Our peoples had previously succeeded in
living all right without this religion. I have six divisions of SS men
