Futile Attempt to Exonerate Nietzsche from the Accusation of Inspiring Nazism It is interesting to note how many followers of Nietzsche today, on one hand, express dismay at the horrors committed by the Nazis but, on the other hand, are seduced by Nietzsche's atheistic, anti-theistic, and anti-Christian stance [1]. They would like to argue that Nazism does not draw inspiration from Nietzsche's thinking or, at least, cannot be equated with his ideas. They claim that it is in contrast to his philosophy. This dual stance allows them to assert their atheism while simultaneously condemning Nazism, unaware of how ridiculous or perhaps pathetic they appear with this feeble attempt.
