:::As indicated above, I'm no authority on this subject, but what I've read seems to suggest that fascists were not necessarily anti-God.<ref>[https://www.oxfordhandbooks.com/view/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199594788.001.0001/oxfordhb-9780199594788-e-10 J.

Bosworth 2010]</ref> With regard specifically to the Nazis, "most Christians in Germany welcomed the rise of Nazism in 1933. They were [amongst other things] persuaded by the statement on 'positive Christianity' in Article 24 of the 1920 Nazi Party Platform".<ref>[https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/the-german-churches-and-the-nazi-state "THE GERMAN CHURCHES AND THE NAZI STATE"]</ref> Religion appears to be an important way to distinguish fascists from communism, the other might be that communism (in theory at least!) places more emphasis on the individual? Anyhow lets not get into a long tedious debate. Believe what you will, argufying is tedious.--[[User:Jackin the box|Jackin the box]] ([[User talk:Jackin the box|talk]]) 13:34, February 14, 2022 (EST)
