What Is Christian?
Jar,
To kind of reiterate Phatboy's point...

Simply not true. The Nazis, including Hitler were Christians (specific quotes available to support that assertion if requested). They even maintained diplomatic connectioins with the Vatican throughout the war.
This brings up an off-topic issue, "What makes a person or an organization Christian besides the person or organization making such a claim?"
I think that would be a particularly interesting topic as regards the Vatican, Nazis, KKK, etc.
My point is off-topic, but I did wish at least to place a question in peoples' minds that just because a person or organization CLAIMS to be Christian doesn't necessarily mean that the person or organization IS Christian.
My off-topic 2 cents.
