No, that is not how national churches work, and I am done explaining this to you. Just trust me (and everyone else) that Hitler was not a christian.

I quoted Martin Luther. "We are at fault for not killing them." Was Martin Luther a Christian?

Hitler said he wanted to create a church in the model of the Church of England. He couldn't have been more clear. Wanting to create a Church of Germany exactly like Church of England isn't destroying a church.

Anglicans are Christians despite being members of the Church of England. Henry VIII didn't destroy Christianity in England.
