Famous Quotes by a True Religious Right Leader
Secular schools can never be tolerated because such schools have no religious instruction, and a general moral instruction without a religious foundation is built on air; consequently, all character training and religion must be derived from faith . . . we need believing people. (Adolf Hitler, April 26, 1933, from a speech made during negotiations leading to the Nazi-Vatican Concordant of 1933)

I have followed in giving our party program the character of unalterable finality, like the Creed. The Church has never allowed the Creed to be interfered with. It is fifteen hundred years since it was formulated, but every suggestion for its amendment, every logical criticism, or attack on it, has been rejected. The Church has realized that anything and everything can be built up on a document of that sort, no matter how contradictory or irreconcilable with it. The faithful will swallow it whole, so long as logical reasoning is never allowed to be brought to bear on it. (Adolf Hitler, from Rauschning, _The Voice of Destruction_, pp. 239-40)

I believe today that my conduct is in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator. (Adolph Hitler, Mein Kampf, pp. 46)

What we have to fight for...is the freedom and independence of the fatherland, so that our people may be enabled to fulfill the mission assigned to it by the Creator.
This human world of ours would be inconceivable without the practical existence of a religious belief. (Adolph Hitler, Mein Kampf, pp.152)

I am now as before a Catholic and will always remain so (Adolph Hitler, to Gen. Gerhard Engel, 1941)

Any violence which does not spring from a spiritual base, will be wavering and uncertain. It lacks the stability which can only rest in a fanatical outlook. (Adolph Hitler, Mein Kampf, p. 171)

I soon realized that the correct use of propaganda is a true art which has remained practically unknown to the bourgeois parties. Only the Christian- Social movement, especially in Lueger's time achieved a certain virtuosity on this instrument, to which it owed many of its success. (Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, Vol. 1, Chapter 6)
