Is it fair to say the Nazis were Christian?

by SeymourWang

This subject has been the source of much contention whenever Christian and Nazis are brought into the same sentence. Some people vehemently believe the Nazis do not qualify as Christians, but is there a consensus among historians for this? I understand that the Nazis actions may not reflect other’s interpretation of the religion and am not insinuating Christianity was the Nazis’ motivation but does that make them not Christian somehow? Wherever you look in history you can find governments or cultures ignoring aspects of Christian teachings yet are considered Christians so why are the Nazis the exception?

These don’t directly answer your question, but they may provide some context of the relationship between Nazism and Christianity. Here and here.
