5 Religious Views Shared By Thomas Jefferson and Adolf Hitler

5 Religious Views Shared By Thomas Jefferson and Adolf Hitler

Author: Jerry Robinson September 29, 2022 Duration: 31:08
When you think of Adolf Hitler, what comes to mind?

For most, the name Hitler conjures thoughts of the Nazi regime that terrorized continental Europe throughout the 1930s and 1940s.

Others will recall Hitler as the visionary engineer of the Nazi-led Holocaust, which led Germany to systematically enslave and murder millions of Jews and other minority groups in an effort to purge the Aryan (white) race of the defiling presence of “impure” and “inferior” races.

But few, if any, living in the 21st century would readily link the historically despised Adolf Hitler with the name of one of America’s most prominent founding fathers: Thomas Jefferson.

However, in this article, I want to focus your attention on five important beliefs that both of these men (Adolf Hitler and Thomas Jefferson) shared in common regarding the topics of Jesus Christ, the Bible, and the Christian Church.

As we begin, we do well to recall the words of President Harry Truman as he reminds us that “the only thing new in the world is the history you don’t know.”

The Gospel of Peace: Rediscovering the Nonviolent Way of Jesus releases November 30, 2026.

Hosted by the True Riches Academy, The Gospel Of Peace offers a space for deep conversation about a Christianity centered on radical, nonviolent love. This isn't about rehearsing familiar doctrines; it's an invitation to grapple with the challenging teachings of Jesus, particularly around violence, conflict, and what it means to truly love an enemy. Each episode, whether a teaching, a personal reflection, or a guest interview, pushes against conventional views on war and power, proposing a transformative path rooted in the peace of Christ. The dialogue is for anyone-believer, skeptic, or simply the curious-who feels that faith must offer more than passive agreement or cultural endorsement. By engaging with scripture and its practical implications in a broken world, this podcast seeks to reframe discipleship as an active, courageous pursuit of reconciliation. Tune in for thoughtful discussions that don't shy away from complexity, aiming to equip and inspire a more faithful, peaceful way of living.
