FASCISM AND THE PROTESTANTS CHURCH IN GERMANY

Abstract

In the early twentieth century the reassessment of traditional values and moral norms affected the ideological reorganization of the church institution. Within the Christian church the processes of «reformation» arose. Fascism tried to adapt Christianity to its goals and objectives by imposing racial theory, Messianizm of Germans, as well as the anti-Semitism to the religious traditions of the Catholic and Protestant churches. The church was to cultivate in people moral values necessary for fascism. The «reform» of Christianity was important for fascism, as well as to change its «form», and to make Christianity the basis of the Aryan religious traditions, and the religious basis of the idea of the «new world order».
