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.

If Osama Bin Laden talks about liking hamburgers I don't consider his main goal to be eating hamburgers in life. Hitler also made pacts with Muslims and Arabs and, as you mentioned, the Japanese who were not Christian. He wasn't trying to enforce Church law and to strengthen the Church.
To me (this is my opinion), the KKK wishes to separate races. This is something that has been shared by other radical racial groups. To me Osama wants to conquer you and make you follow his version of Islam and to be governed by his Sharia. I don't think that the KKK is a religious organization because of that. And perhaps they have fused religion with racial separation, but then again I think it is racial separation that they want to spread and religion is not the epicenter of their beliefs.
