Goebbels defends the fact that National Socialists are not pagan:

Our enemies say: Yes, you had luck! Yes, luck, just luck is needed. When a government has no luck, but rather always misfortune, what does that do for the people? It does not speak against us, but rather for us that we have renewed ourselves and that God helped us a bit in the process. We have not peddled that constantly and we have not acted as if God is our party leader like how it was the rage by other parties. But anyway,
But anyway, it does not seem as if God is ungracious to us at the moment. If someone from an opposing party has something against us, it is: You are pagans! I can only say: How so? What is that about? Why? Do we act like pagans? Is it pagan to organize a winter relief and to thereby feed millions of people? Is it pagan to give a people its inner peace back? Is it pagan to help one’s poor brother and neighbor? Is it pagan to restore the ethic of the family? And is it pagan to give the worker a purpose in life? Is it pagan to rebuild a state on moral principles, to drive out atheism, to cleanse theatre and film of the contamination and poison of Jewish-liberal Marxism? Is that pagan? If that is pagan, then we certainly give thanks for a Christianity that did the opposite! The churches say: It is in your program that you religiously stand on positive Christian ground. OK! But we would like to wish that the churches would like to be politically National Socialistic like how we are religiously positive Christian. In that case we are united. Then nothing will separate us anymore. We also don’t want to intrude on the churches. None of us feels the need to be a political reformer. But rather, we are earthly minded. It is not our place, as temporal rulers, to concern ourselves with the after world, but rather with this world. We want to therefore clearly distinguish these two spheres from each other. We are a political party, so we provide a better temporal existence while the church sees to it that our people go to heaven.

On the 4th of December, 1935, in Saarbrücken
