Hitler’s Religion? Evolutionary Pantheism

That says it about as briefly as possible. Ahead of the release next month of our Discovery Institute colleague Richard Weikart’s new book Hitler’s Religion: The Twisted Beliefs that Drove the Third Reich, Dr. Weikart spoke with PJ Media‘s Tyler O’Neil about his thesis.

The book debunks the triad of misconceptions that Hitler was an atheist, a Christian, or an occultist. Instead, he identified a higher power with nature and its laws, especially the law of evolutionary struggle. It’s an excellent brief discussion with Weikart, a historian at California State University, Stanislaus. The book is November 21.
