Richard Dawkins' Speech at "Protest the Pope March"

Catholics try to associate Hitler with being an atheist because they don't want to admit he was one of them. The hatred Hitler had towards the Jewish people was not caused by non-belief (he wasn't even an atheist), but by irrational fear/hatred caused by a religious world-view. People want to disassociate themselves from Hitler, but the reality is that his actions are a product of belief, not a lack of belief.

Hitchens: Hitler was not an atheist

Hitler obviously was not an atheist. Christians like to make up lies to divert attention away from the fact that Hitler was a Catholic. But, even if Hitler was an atheist (he wasn't), it wouldn't mean that atheism was the motivating belief (atheism is not a belief, but a lack of one). Atheists need to do a better job at putting this misinformation to rest.
