Technically, none. Nazism wanted a return to ancient German civilization which included ancient German religion. Christians were and are still very much against Nazism. Neo-nazis are white supremasists nowadays and are frowned upon by many if not all Christians and Jews.

Not all Christians, the major areas of Nazi support in Germany were agricultural Protestant areas. In Austria, of course, they were predominantly Catholic.

I wasn’t saying all Christians opposed Nazism. I was generalising. There are always exceptions.

You say you are peaceful and love Jesus Mary et cetera…why do you try to make Christianity look bad?

Hi

I think you are wrong here. I don’t make Christianity look bad.

How could I make them look bad when I love Jesus and Mary? It is true though that the present Christendom is very much mythical in my opinion; and has little (only in name sometimes) image of Jesus and Maryin them.

Nevertheless, I like the Christians rather love them, be they Catholics Protestants JWs etc, as I do love Buddhists and Hindus and Zoroastrians and Jews.

I think there is a lot of real human uplift work to be done in the world with joint and combined efforts of Catholics and peaceful Ahmadi Muslims.

What we can expect from the Atheists and Agnostics? At the most they, the Atheists Agnostics can only play a little part in Scientific and Physical realms of the humans. They don’t claim to believe in Moral and Spiritual realms/faculties of the human beings; that is why their contribution cannot be more than they claim.

Atheism and Agnosticism is the number one problem being faced by Catholics Protestants JWs + 32000 denominations and Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists etc- all Revealed Religions, in Europe, America, and Asia and elsewhere in the world.

It is the combined duty of all the Revealed Religions of the world to work for Physical, Moral and Spiritual uplift of the human beings.

I love Jesus and Mary as I do love Buddha and Krishna.

Thanks
 
I can’t remember the last time I saw a real skinhead, but in the late '70’s through the late '90’s, when they were visible, they weren’t all nazis – in fact, there was always SHARP (Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice), and not all neo-nazis were skins, if the stories I heard were true. As to religion, I remember reading about several sects they belonged to, a few pagan, a scattering of extremely obscure and theologically unusual sort-of Christian sects that hated mainstream Christians at least as much as they did everyone else, all led by coercive charismatic self-appointed unqualified men. What I read about the phenomenon when it was happening was that it was failed farmers terrified for their economic survival, and street youth abused so badly they had difficulty with routine tasks due to nerve or brain damage who were being recruited into those kinds of groups. Whereas, actual Christians try to help such people, not recruit them into violent gangs.
 
A good portion of the racist “Skinheads” who claim to be religious are actually neopagan Odinists (followers of the old Norse and Germanic gods) rather than Christian.

But as noted, not all skinheads are racist, nor are all Odinists, nor are all Christian. On the flip side, not all followers of Norse/Germanic religion are racist or skinhead.

Short version: it’s complicated. 🤷

When someone makes Islam sound violent you try to make Christianity look violent. Why don’t you give us examples of how Islam is not violent? I haven’t seen that yet, and all this trying to make Islam/Christianity seem violent isn’t going anywhere! Is salaam alaykum!
 
I saw a show about them on youtube by Louis Theroux (brill journalist). It was done a couple a years ago filmed in America where these people really did believe that each race should be separated and were inferior.

There was quite a sad part where a lady had two girls that she homeschooled and taught them her believes, they recorded these ‘nazi - type’ lyrics and everything. It was the only thing they knew to be true, their mum told them, so what else were they to know.

Agreeing with another poster here. It is very complicated. A generalization or blanket statement will not do.

Here is a WIKI article about the earlier movement.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skinhead And there are a lot of racist who just look like the rest of society, At least with the ones who are more up front you know where they stand.
