During World War II Rosenberg outlined the future envisioned by the Hitler government for religion in Germany, with a thirty-point program for the future of the German churches. Among its articles:
•the National Reich Church of Germany would claim exclusive control over all churches
•publication of the Bible would cease
•crucifixes, Bibles and saints were to be removed from altar
•Mein Kampf would be placed on altars as "to the German nation and therefore to God the most sacred book"
•the Christian Cross would be removed from all churches and replaced with the swastika.
Asking anons to consider the similarities with the current theological movement in America.
