Which one? Now that I think about it, every dictator from wwii era came out of strong religious countries. Russia (Orthodox church), German Catholicism/Christianity, Italy and the Vatican (which actually supported the Reich).

Also they all had mustaches.

Commie Russia? Strongly religious?

News to me.

Not to mention that Hitler was pagan, and Stalin, an atheist.

Yes, Commie Russia was strongly religious. Stalin killed more religious people in his own country than hitler did the jews.

Both countries were strongly religious, their leaders, not so much.

It takes a "greater purpose" for people to believe that what they are doing is worth their own demise.
