Although Adolf Hitler was baptized as a Roman Catholic, paid church taxes and was never excommunicated by the Catholic Church, but:
Hitler quoted the Bible and the words of Jesus in many of his speeches, often comparing himself to Jesus. During the 1920s, Hitler cracked a whip that he habitually carried and said, "In driving out the Jews, I remind myself of Jesus in the temple." - Psychopathic God: Adolf Hitler, by Robert G. L. Waite, page 27.
Hitler saw himself as a Messiah with a divine mission to save Germany from the Jews, but he did not like being told that God's ways were not always revealed to him. An aide once said to Hitler, "Der liebe Gott laesst nicht in seine Karten sehen" (The Good Lord does not let people look at the cards He holds). Hitler became so furious that he feared he would have a heart attack. The aide was ordered never to repeat that phrase again.- Pychopathic God: Adolf Hitler, page 28.
Although Hitler liked to quote from the Bible, he did not like II Corinthians 5:17. He said that it was "the maddest thing that ever an aberrant human brain had thought up" and that such a transformation was a "mockery of all that is divine." - Hitler: Legend, Myth, and Reality, by Werner Messer, page 174.
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." II Corinthians 5:17 NKJV. So Hitler had a problem with that.
This is probably due to the fact that Hitler was very rigid. His last will and testament of April, 1945, was only a repitition of what was in Mein Kampf and his earlier speeches. When an aide suggested that some things might have been done differently, Hitler cried out, "But don't you see, I cannot change!" Psychopathic God: Adolf Hitler, page 16.
Hitler said that Jesus was an Aryan and greatly admired Him as a man, but he did not believe He was the Messiah. Hitler also did not believe in the Trinity or the Christian hereafter. In Noevember, 1941, Hitler said, "I know nothing about the next world and am honest enough to admit it." - Hitler: Legend, Myth, and Reality, page 184.
Although Hitler admired the Catholic Church's organization and continuty, he declared the Church's teachings to be "utterly crazy." - Hitler: Legend, Myth, and Reality, page 174.
He even threatend the Church at one point. On December 13, 1941, Hitler said that if he were in Mussolini's place, he would "march into the Vatican and fetch out the whole lot of them. Then I'd say, 'Sorry. I've made a mistake!' But they'd be out." - Hitler: Legend, Myth, and Reality, page 378.
As Hitler grew older, he substituted the terms "Providence" and "creative force" for God. He used the word Providence in the same way the ancient Greek stoics did: the power that holds sway over men's lives, it foresees eveything, and preserves and guides the world it has created. - Hitler: Legend, Myth, and Reality, page 175.
Whatever he was, Hitler was not a Christian.
