The Nazi treatment of religion is scatter brained. The right wing that supported the Nazis tended to grow out of a rather religious base, but leading Nazis could be non-theistic or viciously anti-Christian. That's where you get things like the Nazi sponsored churches that replaced the Bible with Mein Kampf and "Positive Christianity", and the argument that the Nazis would have worked on replacing Christianity with a Nazi state religion in the aftermath of the war. The matter gets more complicated because people tend to assume the Nazis would also bring in the occult and pagan worship, although that was more Himmler's deal. So, in summary, it is hard to get a bearing on what the truth really is or would have been.
