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 -

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.
