V re Bush's paranoid, neo-facist, Christian world view

Steigmann-Gall, Richard.  The Holy Reich:
   Nazi Conceptions of Christianity, 1919–1945.
   New York: Cambridge UP, 2003.

"Analyzing the previously unexplored religious views
of the Nazi elite, Richard Steigmann-Gall argues
against the consensus that Nazism as a whole was
either unrelated to Christianity or actively opposed
to it. In contrast, Steigmann-Gall demonstrates that
many in the Nazi movement believed the contours of
their ideology were based on a Christian understanding
of Germany's ills and their cure. He also explores the
struggle the 'positive Christians' waged with the
party's paganists and demonstrates that this was not
just a conflict over religion, but over the very
meaning of Nazi ideology itself...."
