Don't call them Nazis - A compendium of quotes, from Greg Olear. [View all]

We Mustn't Compare Them to Nazis

I believe there is a spiritual battle happening all around us…Right now, this state is a Christian state; I want to see that to continue. But we need the faithful, we need those of you that have influence over your congregation to put pressure on your pastors.

Charlie Kirk, Trump rally, October 24, 2024

The National Government….regards Christianity as the foundation of our national morality, and the family as the basis of national life.

—Adolf Hitler, “Proclamation to the German Nation,” Berlin, February 1, 1933

The necessity of virtue was fundamental to the American Founding Fathers. Fifty-five out of 56 of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were Christians who regularly attended church. At least a dozen were pastors and maybe even more than that had religious degrees….Freedom is not sustainable if you remove religion. I’ll be even more specific: Freedom is not sustainable if you remove Christianity. Eventually, it will implode.

—Charlie Kirk, “TAKEAWAYS,” February 2022


The views of liberalism have now become so much the dominant ideas of all so-called intellectuals that even current Christian orthodoxy is unwittingly corroded by it, and by having an enemy in its camp is prevented from fighting it in the open with any success.

Even men who are not orthodox, but zealous advocates of religion who really believe that nations can only thrive through religion, have fallen under the spell of the prevailing norms of liberalism and relapse into its basic principles, which deny nature and history.

How often people have set about creating a religious reawakening. But religion cannot be reawakened, it awakes.

Paul de Lagarde, “The Need to Transcend Liberalism,” 1886
