He also lamented the weakness of Christianity and wished Germany had been Shintoist or Islamic because it would have better served his (entirely secular) purposes. And that still isn't the definition of a theocracy. |
A Theocracy is a government controlled by a religious body. If the Religious Right ( and the Conservatives that depend on their votes to get elected ) had won both Houses of Congress and the Presidency in the Past election, you would have seen a move towards Theocracy in America.
As the distinguished Yale University Professor Harold Bloom said, "A Romney Presidency would mean a strengthening of Theocracy in America."
And Hitler's motives were far from secular as pointed out they were largely a continuation of Protestant and Catholic policies of the Middle Ages (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_by_burning). Just look at the list of people the Nazis were primarily responsible for killing that I posted earlier. They tend to be the same people the Right in this country lists as their political opponents: atheists, feminists, gays, socialists, etc.
