Hitler and his beliefs is an interesting subject area.

He was certainly raised Christian, during a period in Europe when anti-Semitism was in vogue. He seems to become more of an occultist, borrowing bits and pieces from everywhere...Germanic/Nordic mythology, the paranormal, but he certainly intertwined Christian elements throughout the whole scary thing.

I did see Gibson on national television. He stated up front that Holocaust did occur and that it was horrific, etc. When asked about his father's beliefs, he refused to be drawn into that argument and simply said that his father was "his father" and that he loved him.

I don't think that Gibson's film itself is adding to religious divisiveness, but the tensions outside the film certainly could. Perhaps the film will promote the opposite by opening dialog?

Although there seem to be some parties (columnists) who want to drive these frictions.
