Tom Metzger

[James Farmelant]

I am seem to recall reading that Tom Metzger lists Eugene Debs
among his favorite political figures.  Metzger also stands out
amongst contemporary neo-Nazis because he is an avowed
atheist.  He condemns religion especially Christianity as a force
for holding back the "White Race."  In this I suppose his views
echo those of the Nazi ideologist, Rosenberg, who thought that
the Nazis should have taken an explicit anti-Christian line.
BTW most contemporary neo-Nazis seem to subscribe to some
version of Christian Identity which holds that the Aryan race is the
true Israel, and hence God's "Chosen People."
