Do we have proof that Hitler hated the Catholic Church more than anything?
All adults know (who read the papers and have heard about the Goebbels diaries) is that his greatest hate in life was the Catholic Church
In a 1942 Table Talk he said: "The fact that I remain silent in public over Church affairs is not in the least misunderstood by the sly foxes of the Catholic Church, and I am quite sure that a man like Bishop von Galen knows full well that after the war I shall extract retribution to the last farthing".
In 1939, Goebbels wrote that the Fuhrer knew that he would "have to get around to a conflict between church and state" but that in the meantime "The best way to deal with the churches is to claim to be a 'positive Christian'."[79]
The Führer is deeply religious, though completely anti-Christian. He views Christianity as a symptom of decay. Rightly so. It is a branch of the Jewish race. This can be seen in the similarity of their religious rites. Both (Judaism and Christianity) have no point of contact to the animal element, and thus, in the end they will be destroyed. The Führer is a convinced vegetarian on principle.
— Goebbels Diaries, 29 December 1939
Goebbels notes Hitler had "expressed his revulsion against Christianity. He wished that the time were ripe for him to be able to openly express that. Christianity had corrupted and infected the entire world of antiquity."[

I don't think any proof is needed here.
Hitler became aware that his Father, Alois,
was shown as "illegitimate" on his Birth Certificate.
At the time, he also found that one of the men who might be
his Grandfather was Jewish, and the possibility that one or both
of his Grandmother's other two admirers, could have been Jewish as well.
This haunted Hitler for nearly all of his life,
and his paternal grandfather still remains unknown
Thus began an absolute hatred of an entire people
who, in Adolf Hitler's mind, made his Father a bastard.
There was never any love lost between Hitler, and the Catholic Church.

Adolph Hitler, was born of Catholic parents, was baptized a Catholic, and was reared and educated as such. Yet Hitler was never excommunicated.
. Hitler sent a delegation headed by von Papen to Rome to negotiate a concordat between the Nazi State and the Vatican.
Pope Pius XI remarked to the German envoys how pleased he was that the German Government now had at its head a man uncompromisingly opposed to Communism, and on July 20, 1933, at an elaborate ceremony in the Vatican, Cardinal Pacelli (who was soon to become Pope Pius XII) signed the concordat.

Wow!
I had NO IDEA that, in 1942, German money included farthings.
Also had no idea that Hitler constructed camps in which to exterminate some six million Catholics.
But, the fact that he kept THOSE camps secret, until YOU revealed it, is PROOF that he hated the Catholic church MORE than any other group or religion.
Also had NO IDEA that Hitler's troops invaded the city-state of Vatican City, the home of the Catholic church, bombed it to dust.
But, the fact that he DID, proves your claim, absolutely and without any chance that you are just guessing, and guessing wrong.

So he hated the Catholic Church... so he was like a few Protestants around here? ...That will explain why he follows and express the same Martin Luther antisemitism against Jews...he was a hiding Protestant... That won't explain why Nazi concentration camp badges, not include symbols for Catholics or Christians in general
Red triangle – political prisoners: social democrats, socialists, communists and anarchists; rescuers of Jews; trade unionists; and Freemasons.
Green triangle – convicts and criminals (often working as kapos).
Blue triangle – foreign forced laborers and emigrants.
Purple triangle – primarily Jehovah's Witnesses (over 99%) as well as members of other small pacifist religious groups.
Pink triangle – primarily homosexual men and those identified as such (e.g., bisexual men and trans women) as well as sexual offenders including rapists, pedophiles and zoophiles.
Black triangle – people who were deemed asocial elements (asozial) and work-shy (arbeitsscheu), including the following:
Roma and Sinti (Gypsies). They wore the black triangle with a Z notation (for Zigeuner, meaning Gypsy) to the right of the triangle's point. Male Romani were later assigned a brown triangle. Female Romani were still deemed asocials as they were stereotyped as petty criminals (prostitutes, kidnappers and fortune tellers).
Mentally ill and mentally disabled. Their triangles were inscribed with the word Blöd, meaning stupid.
Alcoholics and drug addicts.
Vagrants and beggars.
Pacifists and conscription resisters.
Prostitutes.
Lesbians.
Some anarchists.
Brown triangle – Romani males.
Uninverted red triangle – an enemy POW
and the Double-triangle badges resembled two superimposed triangles forming a Star of David, a Jewish symbol.
Facts Jews, Jehova Witness, Freemasons, and a few other small pacifist religious groups were more hated than Catholics for sure... Nazi hate speaking... of course

If he did, so what? He's been dead since 1945, and you can't dig him up and kick his skeleton.

Good thing people don't make deals with people they hate sometimes, otherwise this would be really irrelevant.

Gee, I'm sorry. I thought it was six million Jews who were murdered by the little corporal, not six million Christians, so you're kind of screwed on that thought there.
As a Christian, and a lay historian of WWII, there is no question that the little corporal hated Christianity. Christians and Catholics opposed him -- not at all saying other people didn't -- but Christians and Catholics opposed him openly, and quite a few of us were put to death because of it. But the Catholic church also collaboarated with him. And the Catholic church also hid Nazis and helped them escape. Klaus Barbie, I think it was, was captured in the '80s for war crimes. Where had he been hiding out? Behind the walls of a Catholic church, in France, where he committed the atrocities he was wanted for, hidden by a priest who most definitely knew who he was.
The little bastard might have even rounded some of us up in pockets here and there. Maybe because we were speaking against him, maybe because we were political opponents, maybe because it was Tuesday and he needed to oppress a group of people just for fun. But at no time did he send the Gestapo or SS to arrest us, take our belongings, ship us off to concentration camps, work us to death or murder us. Individually? Sure. As a group total? No.
Nor did Shitler want to create a museum of a race/culture that used to exist out of us. Nope. That was Jews.
That little TPUK/TPAEUS hated Jews, hated everything about Jews, wanted to destroy every last single one of them, and he made them first because that's where his true hatred lay. Might he have gotten around to us? Yes, but he didn't. Why not? Because he hated Jews more.
Do not denigrate the memory of the millions of people who perished under that freak's hand.

Hitler was a christian. He strongly believed that God protected him against two assassination attempts and that he was doing the Lord's will by defending the world from the Jews. He frequently refers to God in his book Mein Kampf and was heavily influenced by the Old Testament and the German Christian Social Movement.
Hitler also had two christian ministers in his inner circle - Hans Kerrl and Hermann Muhs - whose instructions were to ensure that Nazi politics aligned with christian ideology. Ludwig Muller was a third minister in the party, enlisted by Hitler as the Reich's Bishop. Muller was later fired for failing to unite the 28 protestant churches into one unified church under Nazi doctrine called Gleichschaltung. After his departure, Hitler appointed Hans Kerrl as the Reich's Minister of Ecclesiastical Affairs and oversaw the unification.
In the Nuremburg Trials after the war, it was revealed that Hitler wanted to base the new Germany on a christian foundation which greatly offended some of his highest ranking officers who detested the idea such as Martin Borman and Heinrich Himmler. Hitler spent an enormous amount of time in discussion with bishops and pastors for ways to get rid of the Old Testament and all Jewish influences in christianity. His attempts towards a Jewish free doctrine for the protestant churches caused a division within his own project that resulted in a newly formed church called the German Confessional Church which frustrated Hitler almost as much as his failing warfront. Hermann Muhs - appointed as the Reich's State Secretary for Church Affairs - spent a considerable amount of time and effort quelling Himmler's outrage against the Fuehrer and the churches he wished to align. This plan was also stated in Hitler's Table Talks of 1941 - a collection of ramblings and speeches that Hitler made every day to his officers - and ruminated on a new christian denomination called a United Christian Church of Germany.
"And so I believe to-day that my conduct is in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator. In standing guard against the Jew I am defending the handiwork of the Lord. Therefore, I am convinced that I am acting as the agent of our Creator."

No surprise, given that Pope Pius XII was the most outspoken world leader against Nazism.
