Nazism on the other hand was supported by German Christians German Protestants mostly and even then there were exceptions. Catholics were generally anti-Nazi. I realize that, which is why I just wrote Christians.

Are you kidding me? Of course atheists are in the position of coming out. It’s more difficult to come out as an atheist than it is to come out as gay in such a religious culture like the United States. Especially if you served in an organization like the US military. And forget letting your kid join the Boy Scouts. People can literally be fired from their jobs for being an atheist because it’s not a protected class like religion is. There is such a thing as Christian persecution complex, where certain Christians will feel persecuted simply because their religion no longer holds the same level of status as it once did or because their beliefs are no longer taken seriously or because they are now required to treat people more fairly. I could bring up Communism in the past, but it wasn't just theists who were persecuted, it was anyone who didn't play nice under Communist rule. Any group that wasn't down with Communism was a threat. Nazism on the other hand was supported by German Christians and Hitler's personal beliefs are debated. Based on what I have read I suspect he was a Deist who used Christianity, at least at first, to achieve some of his goals. I suspect the same is the case with Donald Trump. Like Hitler, Trump sees himself as a God and many so-called Christians worship him as one. I agree!
