That's a moronic statement when Christianity CLEARLY was actively used to form what the Nazi party stood for, and Christianity was also a major element in their propaganda.
That's like saying you can use a gun to kill, but you can also use it to not kill. Well Duh. That doesn't change that the purpose of guns are to kill.
And just because there may be some anecdotal not evil Christians, it doesn't change the fact that Christianity very much is used to do evil, and has been used for that for 2000 years now.
Yes you can be a Christian and be a good person, but you are a good person despite being a Christian, because Christianity definitely doesn't help.
Just look how Christianity is used even today in USA to take away rights from people! This is not very different from how Christianity was used as an excuse to persecute Jews and even mass murdering them in concentration camps during WW2.
