Large-scale anti-Christian propaganda, stimulated by the Nazi-Soviet pact, is under way in Germany, it was reported today by the Swiss Evangelical Press Service.

The service produced a leaflet, said to be widely circulated in Berlin schools by the “German Faith” movement, containing the following catechism: “Who is a Christian?” “No German.” “Who can be a Christian?” “No German.” “What is Christianity?” “Christianity is the assassination of the people under the cover of religion. The Jew Disraeli said openly what we know to be true today: ‘Christianity is Judaism for non-Jews.’ For 1,000 years Germany shed its blood in struggle for a foreign God. For 1,000 years Christianity represented the murder of the people.

“You, German brother, were humiliated under the cross, yet you never were Christian. Do you want to continue to vegetated in this mediocrity and mental sluggishness? Mediocrity is unworthy of a German. Become a member of the ‘German faith.'”
