Ludendorffs were the original based power

Eric Ludendorff was a German general and politician. He achieved his fame during World War 1. During his life, he had strong opposing views on christianity. He saw this religion as weak, forgiving, foreign, and a threat to the German volk. Here's what he had to say:
'I am a Heathen,'' Says Ludendorff
PROUD OF HIS ATTITUDE.
On the eve of his 70th birthday General Ludendorff, in an interview, expressed some startlingly anti-Christian sentiments.
"I am not merely an opponent of Christianity, : but literally am anti-Christian and heathen — and proud of it."
"According to its own words in the Gospel of St. John, Christianity aims at detaching the individual from his people, his tribe, and his nation, and promises him only a heaven. Thus in a 'Christian' State no firm unity of the people can arise. Christian teaching is there for only one purpose — to help the Jɛwish people to domination."
"My wife has clearly proved in her writings that every people has its own unique experience of God and that Christianity is fully opposed to the divine experience of the Nordic peoples, to' whom the English also belong. Therefore, Christianity must have a baneful effect on the racial inheritance of our people."
English Will Slip
"If the English want to stay Christian, that's their own look-out, but then they will slip further and further down from their former heights. Only that people can thrive which declares its loyalty to racial principles."
"At the moment we Germans are the people which has freed itself furthest from the teachings of Christianity."
"Only through the complete renunciation of Christianity will the German achieve the unity which it needs, and which would have saved it in the trying days of 1918."
Speaking about Germany's rearmament, Gen. Ludendorff said: "For most men the right of a nation to arm itself is a question of power, but I see it as a moral right. Every man has the right to defend his people, weapon in hand, just as every woman has the right and the duty to preserve her nation by presenting it with children — also at the risk of life."
