I was responding to your statement: "nobody is blaming the 'Chtistian'Adolf Hitler for the genocide of the Jews but the Nazi Hitler". I was attempting to explain that they don't call him a Christian because he wasn't one. For example, the swastika is not a Christian symbol; and he did not chant Christian prayers to his soldiers before battles. Nor did he consistently state that he was being inspired by his Christian beliefs. It's not that he was a bad Christian, he just simply wasn't one at all. Most slaughter in the West in the modern era has be carried out by men motivated by nationalist and secularist ideologies, not religious ones. Very different, of course, to centuries ago.
IMO--In my opinion.
