Tax religion, especially if it owns substantial properties and wealth assets! This is a secular idea,because I'm a secular person.
Nazism was a totalitarian government and a state religion! Yes, you heard me right, Hitler was heading a cult and a government in which race guilt was a main component of it (hence turning Jews and other minorities into scapegoats and victims). Nazism had self-consciously some ideas of the Old Testament in it. Of course the Nazis supressed the good aspects of Christianity and imprisoned, tortured and murdered pastors and priests.
Myth no. 1. Reparations from the Treaty of Versailles First War War caused Germany to be plunged (repeatedly) into economic crises of 1919 through to the mid-1930s, reponsible for the coming to power of the Nazis. Many of these problems, such as stagflation and currency devaluation were caused by socialist policies of successive and unstable Weimar Republic governments. Reparations had an immediate impact in1919 then the Americans and British softened it by early 1920s by extending the payment periods and reducing amounts so it didn't become onerous.
Myth no. 2. Stab in the back theory by Jews and Communists. This myth was amplified by the Nazis, but by the devious and authoritarian Field Marshall, Erich Von Ludendorff, who was mainly responsible for Germany's defeat in 1918, originated it.
