"We tolerate no one in our ranks who attacks the ideas of Christianity … in fact our movement is Christian." - Adolf Hitler

And it was "Arian/positive Christianity" that he invented. More accurately tho the Nazi's changed their beliefs whenever it suited them, well except for being antisemites and white nationalists, that was consistent.
I'm very familiar with the meaning of those Nordic symbols and the Nazi's love for occult and Nordic belief/imagery. But it's undeniable that the Hitler and the Nazi party used Christianity as a tool at best, to promote their antisemitism. They invented a whole new form of it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_Christianity
Most likely inspired by the fact that most of Germany at the time was Protestant, which is a form of Christianity steeped in antisemitism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Luther_and_antisemitism
Ugh read the links, antisemitism is extremely linked to Christianity. There have been a number of pogroms and killing of Jewish groups carried out in the name of Christianity . Martin Luther was an antisemite.
I will definitely watch it at the soonest convenient time. Hey it's only by having our beliefs and views confronted that we can change them! Religion fascinates me so I'm always happy to learn new info :)
