Was Hitler an Atheist?: How Hitler Exploited Religion to Seize Power
Was Hitler an atheist? The answer is sometimes ambiguous. Some political pundits claim Hitler was an atheist, and others claim he was Christian. In the turbulent years of Nazi Germany, Adolf Hitler cynically used both the Protestant and Catholic churches to strengthen his grip on power.
Although some religious leaders opposed him, many either accepted or actively supported his ascent. How and why did these powerful institutions allow themselves to become tools of a brutal dictatorship? This book explores the complex relationship between the churches and Hitler's regime.

Owen does an excellent job explaining the ideas he is putting forward. However, this one had a few too many tangents. I felt like each chapter could be a book in and of itself. I feel like the title was a little click bait-y. Overall, I did enjoy the book as an expansion on Owen's other work. Owen, thank you and keep it up.
