Nazism and the Hatred of Christians

Many Christians today are under the impression that the Nazism(National Socialism)of Hitler's Germany was only a political system, nothing more.   The way the Nazi regime is portrayed in historical documentaries, and from the way Hitler is spoken of in them, it's clear why this is the case.  On the surface, Nazism was a political system.  However, it was not only a political system.  Nazism was at its core a religous ideology.  It was formed from the ideas of the day, which Hitler and those that were with him held a strong belief in.  What were these ideas?   These ideas were those that sprang from a belief system called "Theosophy", which was organized systematically by a Russian woman named Helena Petrovna Blavastky in the 1800's.  Theosophy was simply the mystery religions of the east, given a christian outer-dressing.  It's central theme is the "Secret Doctrine". This "Secret Doctrine" has 3 points, which simply says:1.) "all is one, and one is all",2.) karma determines one's destiny and that life is a cycle(reincarnation), 3.) all things alive evolved from lower forms to its present state.   This ideology as you can see promoted the belief of evolution; that no pesonal God created the universe, but that there was a big bang and from that explosion, the universe evolved into being. 

And since evolution was considered to be true, this promoted the belief of the "Super Race".  This race of people were more evolved than all the rest.  And also there was the belief that the higher, more evolved race were better than the lower races.  And in some cases, the lower races weren't considered human.  They weren't even worthy of life, therefore it wouldn't be considered murder to do away with them; after all, they're lower on the evolutionary level and could hold the pure race back from progress.  Since evolution was considered a "fact" of science, this would all be in a sense "supported by scientific research".  And from Nazism's perspective, the Germans were the most evolved race and were on their way to being the "Super Race".   And in Theosophy, the lowest evolved race and the race that was holding the world back from progress was a small group of people.   I'm sure you know by now who they are. 

That's right.  The Jews.

The religous ideology of Theosophy was put into a political mold and was called "Nazism".  This same ideology of Theosophy is still with us, and is being practiced by those who are adherents to "New Age" beliefs.  It is being put into a political mold as well, and is drawing many followers.  Today however, the enemy is not only Jews.  But christians as well.   Christians today are seen as the "Radical, Religous Right", that hate homosexuals and blow up abortion clinics and hate all who disagree with them.  They are the troublemakers who must be dealt with if society is to progress into peace.   As in Germany there was the "Jewish Question" which was "what will we do with the Jews?", today in America we can see the begininng of the "Christian Question" which says "what will we do with these blble-believing fundamentalist christians that are holding us back from progress?". 

Could the scientifically-veiled hatred of Theosophy be directed at christians today?
