One of the most interesting things about this debate is that it essentially renders Hitler as the object of a sort of Schrödinger's Christianity.

If Hitler was a Christian, that actually leans towards Christianity itself being false, because it restrained him from actually dealing with his enemies properly. And crucially, God did *not* reward him for his fealty, despite that being the thing that is supposed to trigger Christianity's stated win condition. Faithful leaders + faithful people = God steps in and delivers you victory without the need for bloody anarchy. In this scenario, Hitler was essentially the litmus test for "*real* Christianity actually being tried," and it failed spectacularly.

If Hitler wasn't a Christian, then it's the opposite position that gains ammo. Since he wasn't a real believer and was only using the religion as a means to secular ends, then of course God cursed him with losing the war, and it's of the utmost importance that the *next* big leader not repeat his mistake. This would actually be extremely internally consistent within the religion's own rules.
