Originally posted by NordlysBut Gebbels was Hitler's propaganda minister, no? There's even a lying technique named after him.
He didn't use it to get people to be Christian, but to get Christian people on his side. And the reason why the Göbbels quote (I assume that's what you are referring to when you say 'the quote above'😉 is less likely to be propagandistic is obvious - it was not a statement made in public.
