      The Catholic Church supported the Nazis,

      So did thousands of edgelord atheists. Your point?

      Germany is a Christian country,

      Ahh yes… the country that perpetrated mass-murder on the very people Christ was born amongst, identified with and spent his entire life interacting with.

      What a “Christian” country, eh edgelord?

          Should be easy to prove your hypothesis, then, shouldn’t it?

          Provide some proof that the centuries-long orgy of murder, rape and torture the (so-called) “west” visited on the world (which has by no means ended here in the year of our lord 2026) can be traced back to something Christ said or did.

            Wrong answer. We don’t trace things back to what he said, we trace if back to his followers actions.

            Reminds me of the likely apocraphal quote “I do not hate your christ, I hate your Christians”

            We are talking about people like you, not a dude who died 2000ish years ago.

              No, no, no, Clyde - the hysterical and ludicrously ahistorical screeds being regurgitated on here by you lot literally absolves them. Your (thoroughly contrived) problem is with religion itself, remember?

              That is what you are blaming for all this, remember?

              Go look at the first responses to my reply if you don’t believe me, okay?

                I hate to break it to you, but the religion is defined by the followers. You have to remember, your deity may matter to you, but for the rest of us, it’s made up.

                  Really? So religion is democratic, according to you?

                  but for the rest of us,

                  Who are you speaking for, edgelord?

                    It doesn’t have to be. You can certainly have a figurehead telling everybody what the religion is.

                    And when I say, the rest of us, I mean people who do not believe there was a dude that walked on water and died for our sins. Because all of it sounds remarkably implausible, and after all of these thousands of years, surely we would have some actual evidence by now.

        Okay you’re ignorance went from sad to really fucking disturbing. You don’t understand that Christians have been carrying out pogroms against Jewish communities for thousands of years now? Like how?

          The (so-called) “west” has been doing that to far more people than Jewish ones, Clyde. Is your grip on history as firm as you think it is?

          Shall we give it a thorough test, perhaps?

        Your god sends bears to kill children because they offended him.

        Your god is a psychopath.

        Yaweh also killed all of humanity because they didn’t listen to him.

        Again psychopathic behavior.

        I could go on but you would accuse me of being an edge lord, like it bothers me, or something(it just makes me roll my eyes and think less of your intellectual abilities).

              Glad to know it was all fake.

              small minded outlook of humanity

              LOOL!

              Do tell, Clyde - why has no human society in history ever rejected religion, hm? A (supposedly) enlightened humanity understander like you should have no trouble coming up with a non-laughable (ie… not standard edgelord atheist bullcrap) reason why, shouldn’t you?

          Let’s have a look, shall we?

          Wikipedia entry on Heinrich Himmler -

          Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler, himself a former Roman Catholic, was one of the main promoters of the Gottgläubig faith.[2] He was particularly hostile towards Christianity, its values, the churches, and their clergy.[2] Himmler viewed all of Christianity and the priesthood as nothing but an indecent union, with the majority of its priesthood constituting “an erotic homosexual league of men” whose only purpose was to create and maintain a “twenty-thousand-year-old Bolshevism.”[2] To the Reichsführer-SS Christianity was the greatest plague delivered by history, and he demanded that it be dealt with accordingly.[2] A perennial favorite song of the storm troopers had this refrain: "Storm Trooper Comrades, hang the Jews and put the priests against the wall.

          Hold on… I need to repost this part -

          To the Reichsführer-SS Christianity was the greatest plague delivered by history, and he demanded that it be dealt with accordingly.

          Sounds a lot like some of the hysterical edgelords on here, don’t you think?

            That was literally a religious category for people who left organized religion but still believe in (the Christian) God. Actual atheist organizations where attacked by the SA.

                The red triangle of political enemies.
                Their organizations where declared treasonous, some before the fist KZs where even built. Also many became resistance fighters.

                What about Christians? Only Jehovah’s witnesses got their color.

                  Hmmmm… I’m checking, and I’m not finding it. As per wikipedia…

                  The red inverted triangle was used for political prisoners,[6][12] including:[13][14]

                  The Nazi Party’s political opponents,[14] starting in Germany: Communists[13][15] Social democrats[13][15] Democrats[14] Socialists[13][12] Liberals[14] Trade unionists[13] Anarchists[14][13] Anti-fascists[14][16] Freemasons[14][17][15] See also: Persecution of Freemasons § Nazi Germany and occupied Europe and Grand Anti-Masonic Exhibition. Occupied country resistance members (partisans) including: [citation needed] Jewish women in the resistance who were operating under false identities.[18] Gentiles who assisted Jews[19] such as Odette Pilpoul [fr] Some lesbians and members of other marginalised groups such as Yvonne Ziegler and Suzanne Leclézio.

                  Not much to say about atheists… no surprises, as Nazis (and fascists in general) then and now doesn’t find atheism all that objectionable.

                  Have to say I’m surprised they had one for liberals - considering that it was liberal elites (ie, capitalists) that funded the Nazis into power.

                    Unter der Diktatur des Nationalsozialismus wurden die bürgerlichen deutschen Freidenkerverbände, die 1932 etwa 540.000 Mitglieder zählten, durch gewaltsame SA-Aktionen aufgelöst, die Vermögenswerte der Feuerbestattungs-Kassen in die Neue Deutsche Bestattungskasse überführt.

                    Ferner wurde im März 1936 durch den Volksgerichtshof der Deutsche Freidenkerbund (DFV) zu einer hochverräterischen Organisation erklärt und verboten. Zahlreiche einfache Mitglieder des Freidenkerverbandes und Personen aus der Organisationsführung leisteten im „Dritten Reich“ Widerstand. In der Folge wurde beispielsweise der Vorsitzende Max Sievers am 17. Januar 1944 im Zuchthaus Brandenburg hingerichtet. Ernst Fraenkel, Else und Kurt Megelin, Otto Ostrowski (der von 1950 bis 1953 Vorsitzender des Westberliner Freidenkerverbandes war) und andere engagierten sich von der Machtübergabe an bis teilweise 1944 in der linkssozialistischen Widerstandsgruppe Roter Stoßtrupp.
