The Third Reich was a Roman catholic government, with full backing from the Vatican, the same as the fascists in Italy.
Communist "atheism" was a bullshit facade. they allowed the Russian orthodox Church to exist.
Like I said, as long as religion is based upon the question of damnation/salvation there will never be tolerance, acceptance, or communal religious lives. It is not up to the atheists and anti-theists and agnostics to change. the change must come from within the intolerant religious people.
This is what the Freemasons have taught and continue to teach, that no religion is greater than any other, that all are paths to wisdom to enlightenment, and that all are equally capable of this. this is why hardcore christians and hardcore jews and hardcore muslims HATE the freemasons and paint them as some Satanic cult. The Freemasons begat a country where these ideals were supposed to be of the utmost importance, the United States of America, and even that is being subverted, NOT by athiests, but by the very religious fundamentalist christians. fuck them ALL
