My point was that any religion can be hijacked by evil doers. Christianity has been one that has been hijacked numerous times, probably more than any other. Note the following: calvin.edu "It is thus necessary to give inherited customs a meaning that reaches each member of the community in the same way (that is, a political meaning that reaches the people as a whole). "Christmas" is an example, as we will see. When we conduct such a holiday or ceremony, we want — as in everything else — to mobilize the spiritual or emotional strengths of the community for National Socialism. For example, Christmas is an inherited holiday about a theoretical peace for all of humanity. There is no national or social necessity to believe in this. However, we can present it as a holiday of actual internal national peace, which is in fact without question a critical demand of the National Socialist people's community to each individual German. If we make visible the blessings of this actual peace, along with its foundations and requirements, then "Christmas" doubtless can be a high point in the course of the political year. Both according to popular custom and popular view, the Christmas holiday can justifiably be seen as a festival of the homeland. From this perspective, it fits clearly in the political and worldview arena."
