Regarding the KKK, were they a religious institution? Of course some might say the KKK doesn't kill any longer. It doesn't excuse their actions but there were the Crusades, there was the inquisition, there were the pogroms, but some might consider this the dark age of a religion. Do you know what I'm saying?

I think that they were. But that is up for debate because people can argue differently. But they called themselves the WHITE CHRISTIAN KNIGHTS of the KKK.
I have to disagree about Hitler too.

Unless somebody directly under him got him mixed up, it's safe to say he was talking about non-christians or better yet Jews. Hitler made pacts with non-christian societies only to further his Nazi goals. The Soviet Union kept him from fighting a war on 2 fronts (which he totally dismissed as soon as he "thought" the Soviets weren't able to stop him) and the Japanese were there to keep the Allies stretched out into the Far Pacific defending their possesions.
