Consider Hitler, who believed murdering 6 million Jews would offer a direct benefit to society.
So answer the question: Was Hitler absolutely wrong? And were the Allies absolutely right to kill millions of Germans in return?

Yet there are Hitler quotes that indicate he hated Christianity. So it's a very confusing picture. Anyhow, there always exists the distinct possibility that he used pro-Christian rhetoric to appeal to a Christiian audience. Oldest trick in the book.
Hitler was a politician - and not he most honest one in history. You can't believe everything he said.
If he talked about Christianity to appeal to Christians, then he probably also talked about evolution to appeal to evolutionists. So if you want to reject that he was a "True Christian", in all honesty you also have to let go of the claim that he was a "True Evolutionist".
