In this episode, we interview Dr. Richard Weikart about his book Hitler’s Religion: The Twisted Beliefs that Drove the Third Reich. Was Hitler a Christian? Was Hitler an Atheist? Was Hitler a Darwinist? Richard takes us through the answers, in their historical context, as we look at issues of theology, science, and politics - and hear about some of their consequences.
