The motivation was entirely racist, political and ideological, not religious. (Obviously, there was a religious background to antisemitism, but religion was not a motive for the Holocaust). Michael is arguing with me about this, and i am showing him that I am right.

The Holocaust wasn't all about religion. Sure, the Jews were the main targets, but 6 million other people were also killed. Poles, Russians, homosexuals, gypsies, communists, socialists, intellectuals, and anyone who disagreed with Hitler. The Jews were the main target yes, but not the only target and people seem to forget that.

The Nazis did not persecute the Jews for their religion but because of their ethnicity ('race'). The Holocaust had almost nothing to do with religion.

As far as the Jews were concerned the focus was on ethnicity (race), not religion. Jews who had converted to Christianity were persecuted in the same way as religious Jews.
