What kind of religion did the Nazis have?
>Was it Catholicism, Protestantism or Paganism?

Religion wasn't really a big part of Nazism. Hitler sometimes used it as a tool, that's all.
>paganism
Certainly not. Most Nazis were either raised Catholic or Protestant.
Hitler = Catholic or lapsed Catholic
Göring = Lutheran
Himmler, Bormann = Pagans

National socialism was a secular religion by and of itself. It used religious terminology and ritual. It had relics like the Blutfahne It transcendentalized the idea of race to stand in for a deity.
While it did use actual religion, it was purely as a means to an end.
Pagan revival was sorta kinda big in certain circles, mostly those earlier associated with ariosophy and volkism, but it would never have caught on with the larger masses. If it lasted longer they'd seek to "aryanize" Christianity, along the lines of Rosenberg who claimed that Jesus was by blood an Amorite, not a Jew and so an Indo-European (not true) and Aryan.
>all the nazis were a single person
Not saying that's necessarily what you're implying, but this meme needs to die.
I've seen people say that Hitler and all nazis were pagans just because Himmler was a pagan.

I do believe Jesus was an aryan
>>938970
Basically they were Christian, although there was a strong interest in Germanic paganism present in a number of circles because of the resonance between NS values and perceived Germanic pagan values - National Socialism drew so deeply from the well of the German weltanschauung that it scraped pre-Christian history at the bottom in a more than superficial way.

Read Miguel Serrano.
Himmler was full out /x/ tier
>oh look, it's another nazi thread

Serrano was a literal retard. He goes on about nordic aliens from Hyperborea and Hitler flying out of the hollow Earth in Antarctica in a flying saucer at the end of days because he's the final incarnation of Vishnu.
Anyway I love how the introduction to the Last Avatar reads just like those insecure sudaca posts on /int/:
>I may be from Chile but I am white! WHITE !!! MY GREAT-GRANDFATHER HAD A GERMANIC NAME, I'M ARYAN I SWEAR !!!!

Nazism had no offical religion and was essentially areligious.
But for the most part, they didnt like christians and some liked the idea of neo-paganism while most probably didnt give a shit either way.
Hitler never talked about christians unless it was for some bullshit political speech and thought paganism was douchy, but wasnt going to outlaw it or anything. He was most likely an apathetic atheist
>>938970
Most were Catholic or Protestant, like the rest of Germany (except those pesky Jews)
There was relatively large number of 'pagans' stemming from the occult, romantic nationalism, Jung, the volkisch movement, Nordicism, etc. like the Thule Society
Does anyone know of atheists in the NSDAP?
Some were occultists, like Himmler
They also created a version of Christianity to be compatible with Nazism, called Positive Christianity

Nazi Germany didn't dabble into Christianity any more than just using it as a tool to gain support.
there were figures in Hitler's inner circles tho who saw the concept of Religion and the influence of the Pope over Germany's Catholics as a threat to the supremacy of the State.
It was known that after the Jewish question was dealt with, they would move on to stripping Catholic influence away from Germany, especially in Education, where they sought to remove church teachings and replace it with lessons of faith in the country, its people, and the state.

They weren't wrong.
