Original sentence: Contrary to popular belief, Hitler was not an atheist and never presented himself as such.During his early career he made various public comments against against "bolshevistic" atheist movements, and in favour of so-called "Positive Christianity" (a movement which sought to purge Christianity of its Jewish elements and key doctrines like the Apostle's Creed and instil it with Nazi philosophy).He declares himself neutral in sectarian matters and supportive of the separation between church and state, while criticising political Catholicism.He presented a nihilistic, Social Darwinist vision, in which the universe is ordered around principles of struggle between weak and strong, rather than on conventional Christian notions.This is evidenced in many of his speeches as well as his semi-autobiographical Mein Kampf, where he makes a number of religious allusions, claiming to fulfil the will of the "almighty creator" as well as portraying Jesus as a "fighter", calling him his Lord and Savior
