"We as Christian National Socialists firmly believe that the Guide of the history of nations will direct this most sacred cause of the German People to a glorious end."

Positive Christianity, also known as Aryan Christianity, was a religious, totalitarian, culturally far-right, and third-position movement inside the Weimar Republic and Third Reich that sought to combine Christian values with the Nazi Party. It believed in maintaining the ethnic and racial purity of the German people by mixing Nazi ideology with Christianity.

Politically, it had the goal of imposing a nazified form of Christianity with a Protestant theocracy controlled by the state. During World War II the main figure in the creation of Positive Christianity, Alfred Rosenberg, postulated a vision for the future of religion in Germany which included the expulsion of what he called "foreign Christian religions", the replacement of the Bible with Mein Kampf and the replacement of crosses with swastikas in new Nazified churches. Even during its time, it received criticism as being a dangerous "new religion" and members of it including Alfred Rosenberg have backed the neo-pagan German Faith Movement.

Positive Christianity's support most notably came from the German Christians, a pressure group in the German Evangelical Church existing from 1932 until the end of World War II in 1945.

History

Deutsche Christen ("German Christians")

The German Christians movement traces its roots back to Adolf Hitler's seizure of control in the year 1933. During this period of time, the Evangelical Church of Germany experienced a growing amount of adherents being in favor of the new regime, as an alternative to the proclaimed atheist, Bolshevist threat lurking over the country. Under the motto "Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer, eine Kirche!" ("one people, one realm, one leader, one church!"), the movement sought to transform the Evangelical Church into a "Reichskirche" that is ideologically further in line with Hitler's Nazi ideology. The German Christians advocated for racial purity, the introduction of "Aryan paragraphs" (non-Aryans may not have been allowed to join the church), and the "de-judification" of Christianity, such as through the elimination of the Old Testament and the Epistles of Paul.

Schism

Positive Christianity did not sit well with all evangelical Christians in Germany. Almost simultaneously to the German Christians' foundation, a vocal evangelical resistance group, called the "Pfarrernotbund" ("Emergency Alliance of Pastors"), emerged, which openly rejected Nazism, and sought to mitigate or prevent any sort of Nazi influence on the church.
This alliance would soon merge into the "Bekennende Kirche" ("Confessing Church"), which became the main antagonist against the German Christians. It viewed itself as the one true and righteous church, struggling against Nazi revisionism and racialism. It was due to this movement that the Nazi regime was, at last, unsuccessful in fully seizing control over the Evangelical Church.

Beliefs

Social Darwinism

Social Darwinism, as was the case for Nazism, was a key part of Positive Christianity, particularly through its promotion by Alfred Rosenberg, who was hanged later at Nuremberg.

Personality

Mostly similar to Nazism's personality (that is, very racist and anti-semitic), but subject to being called a hypocrite, due to the Jewish origins of the Bible. He constantly tries to deny these influences.

Other Christian ideologies absolutely despise him due to his racism and overall very anti-Christian-esque beliefs.

How to Draw

The flag of Positive Christianity was created for the "German Christians" movement, based on the Nazi flag but the logo is that of the Aryan swastika on the Christian cross, symbolizing the ideology's attempt to de-Judaize Christianity.

Flag of Positive Christianity
  1. Draw a ball.
  2. Color it red.
  3. Add white a circle in the middle.
  4. Using black, draw a Christian cross inside the circle.
  5. Draw a white circle where the part of the cross intersect, then put a swastika inside it.
  6. Draw a black "D" and "C" on the bottom left and right side of the cross respectively.
  7. Add the eyes.

You're done!

  • Silver Legionism - My BEST friend and the ONLY one that truly understands me! Fascism? White nationalism? Protestant Christianity? The occult? AWESOME!
  • Clerical Fascism - Hmmm... 🤔 ...maybe?
  • Social Darwinism - My father and I literally advocate for the survival of the fittest, as ordained by God himself! It makes more sense that Jesus was an Aryan and was, therefore, among the most evolved of all the other races.
  • White Nationalism - WHITE POWER
  • Crusadism - I'm mostly protestant, but the SS are the proper successors of the templars.
