Unfortunately, I cant buy a lot of what is said there, because it just seems natural that a religiously based website like that would want to make sure it was properly distanced from any association with Germany during that period That's not to dismiss it out of hand, but when I look at how well annotated the Wikipedia article is, just for those few paragraphs, and the only solid sources this link can bring up is another religious blog, I tend to weigh a little more towards the site with the documentation.
To be honest, I dont think Hitler himself had much of an idea what his own religious ideas were supposed to be, because there's so much conflicting information out there. But it does seem that he stuck more or less to what we could now describe as radical evangelical Christian-based beliefs, which would certainly account for why he chose the various political and social groups that were headed to the camps.
But that's just a guess. With him dead (or close to it in Argentina :-) ), we probably will never know for certain one way or the other.
