Hitler had been a Christian (Catholic) in his early years. Although he fell into crazy religious ideals in later life, he never denounced the Church, and he was never excommunicated. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_views_of_Adolf_Hitler
We don't know that he was an atheist. He probably wasn't. So, the Holocaust wouldn't necessarily fit the classification of genocide done by atheists.
But since the Catholic Church is not Christian, and he wanted death for people, he was not Christian. Anyone who wants death for people, is wishing to cut their life shorter than the Lord intends and may stop someone from being saved, this is not a love for that person. Because if we love our brothers and sisters, we wish for all to be saved as the Lord does.
1 John 4:20 If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
No Christian should attempt to cut another's life shorter because that life may have been saved later on, also that life may have gone on to save even more people. Some of the best testimonies of Christianity are from atheists who have been saved. They deserve to live long enough to be saved and perhaps save others through their testimony.
Neither of the two passages necessarily make a person an atheist, or even an unsaved unbeliever.
We simply don't know whether or not Hitler became an atheist.
In the Crusades of the middle ages, Crusaders were theists that did a lot of killing in the name of the Lord. Much of the time they were wrong in doing it. But they never became atheists because they did it. They were simply ignorant Christians.
I didn't meant to imply the lack of being Christian equals being an atheist. I just got sidetracked towards the end. Hitler wasn't Christian because he had no love for his fellow men and women on earth and was fine with torturing them. Anyone who has a hate for people and wants to murder them for some reason (even if they think they're doing the Lord's will) are not Christian since the Lord said they're a liar for calling themselves Christian.
But not being Christian doesn't make them an atheist. They may still believe in God, but not truly know Him.
And I didn't mean to imply that it was right of Hitler to do what he did.
We don't know that Hitler had no love. When you are in a position of leading a great country like Hitler was, there are times when you need to become calloused.
When you look at the history of Germany, the Prussians, and other groups who fought in WW1, it is difficult to say for sure that Hitler was wrong in his beginnings as leader of Germany. Sure, Germany was not right in what they did in WW1 and before, but the way that they were mistreated after they lost that war was not right either.
Did Hitler love the German people and Germany? Or was he only using them. Hard to say. But one might give him the benefit of the doubt in this area. At least some of his hate for the Jews was based on things that some people he thought were Jews did or attempted to do to Germany. It was war, and you love your own people more than you love the enemy.
