Well, yes and no. Hitler was a member of a small organization of wackos 
that included an actual "satanist", in the tradition idiot terms used to 
define those people, and several of what might be thought of as a mix of 
mystics, alchemists and new ager types, who all **literally** thought 
that some crazy novel (Originally titled "The Coming Race") that they 
read was real, and that magic worked, and even spent a fair amount of 
time in post WWI snatching up Orphans to human sacrifice and engaging in 
sex magics. See, the "novel" was early sci-fi, and well.. when you are 
the first person writing sci-fi, some idiot isn't going to get that its 
made up. In the story some guy find a tunnel into the center of the 
earth, discovers a race of people down their with a power called Vril, 
then discovers, by the end of the book, that "children" are the most 
potent possessors of it of all, and could literally destroy the entire 
planet, if taught how to use it, and they chose to do so. So, logically, 
killing children, to collect their "Vril force" would, presumably, make 
Hitler and the rest of the nuts more powerful. Its also how they got the 
whole "master race" BS, since they imagined themselves "descended" from 
the Vril masters. (Just type vril into Google and have fun reading the 
idiocy...)

That he was also a Christian at the time, or more specifically Catholic, 
only goes to prove that being buried in nonsense from sheep herders 
doesn't "prevent" you from falling for even bigger nonsense. lol
