I really don’t understand what people see in Jordan Peterson. Or maybe I do, but I just don’t respect it.

He sometimes makes a lot of sense, but, just as I begin to take him seriously, he utters pure insanity.

Nazism actually incorporated many religious ideas, from Christian to pagan, to the point that it was so filled with faith and dogma that it was indistinguishable to religion.

My point is to say that the man was not a believer, but plenty of his underlings were...and, like any cynical dictator, he used religion among other things to try to manipulate his people. He believed the German volk were the apex of humanity. Goering I believe was into occult.

It was Himmler who was into the occult. Hitler, as you say, worshipped the Herrenvolk as his God. Regardless, the Nazism that Hitler communicated to people, the only Nazism that matters, was founded on distinctly religious themes.

I'm not sure Peterson is right on this, but you have to be careful with this argument. Hitler's approach to Christianity was oppression moderated by pragmatism and political realism. I think Christianity would have been much more severely suppressed post-war if the Nazis had won.

Peterson is wrong. The German people were fed a diet of propaganda, such as “kinder, kuche, kirche” for the women, saying their role (kids, cooking, church). But in so far as hitler himself and his cabal, they ranged from Bavarian Catholics to German ethnomystics.

Exhibit A in why I say ethnography led to the disease that eventually manifested as the Third Reich; the Aryan race...Germans said they were blonds of German and Nordic descent. And, yet, the only record of Aryans is from India. I believe they were light skin northern conquerors.
