Line 84: − + − There is a significant lack of certainty regarding Adolf Hitler's religious views. History can be cloudy sometimes due to fragmentary/conflicting pieces of evidence. Such is the case of Adolf Hitler's religious views. In such cases, one should resist imposing one's wishes on history and/or allowing [[confirmation bias]] to skew one's judgment. + − +

:::::I would lean toward Adolf as an atheist. Hitler targeted innocent children for death is not only inhumane and a war crime, it shows that there is no fear of God. Godless actions, a fascist state constructed were there could only be one supreme ruler and it wasn't God. His belief in evolution is focused on perverted science, claiming God doesn't play a role in the world. How many priests were killed? Many. I would say this is a good indication of a person that considers religion, God, an enemy.--[[User:Jpatt|Jpatt]] 21:35, 20 June 2015 (EDT)

Bad behavior is not a definitive acid test of someone being an atheist. John Wayne Gacy was a sociopath and one of America's worst serial killers. Gacy was a theist.

As I demonstrated above via showing conflicting pieces of evidence concerning Hitler's religious views, there is a significant lack of certainty regarding Adolf Hitler's religious views. History can be cloudy sometimes due to fragmentary/conflicting pieces of evidence. Such is the case of Adolf Hitler's religious views. In such cases, one should resist imposing one's wishes on history and/or allowing [[confirmation bias]] to skew one's judgment.
There is nothing wrong with saying "We don't know" or "there is uncertainty regarding....". In cases of fragmentary/conflicting data, it is the most accurate thing to say.

One should go where the evidence leads and not make a premature decision (due to various assumptions, etc.) and then look for evidence to support that conclusion. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 03:04, 21 June 2015 (EDT)
