“Darwinism by itself did not produce the Holocaust, but without Darwinism... neither Hitler nor his Nazi followers would have had the necessary scientific underpinnings to convince themselves and their collaborators that one of the worlds greatest atrocities was really morally praiseworthy.”
Richard Weikart, From Darwin to Hitler: Evolutionary Ethics, Eugenics and Racism in Germany

“I don’t concern myself about articles of faith, but I will not tolerate it, if a cleric (Pfaffe) concerns himself with earthly matters. The organized lie must somehow be broken, so that the state is absolute lord.”
Richard Weikart, Hitler's Religion: The Twisted Beliefs that Drove the Third Reich
