    Hitler aimed to control and weaken Christianity in Nazi Germany by signing a concordat with the Catholic Church and supporting the German Christians who promoted loyalty to Hitler. Over time, he abolished religious education and church schools, undermining the church's influence. Hitler's ultimate goal was to replace Christianity, which he saw as promoting weakness, with a new "German Faith Movement" based on Nazi ideology with Hitler's book Mein Kampf and the swastika symbol replacing the Bible and cross.
