"You see, it's been our misfortune to have the wrong religion. Why didn't
we have the religion of the Japanese, who regard sacrifice for the
fatherland as the highest good? The Mohammedan religion too would have been
much more compatible to us than Christianity. Why did it have to be
Christianity with its meekness and flabbiness?"

If Fatherland were God! which statement is a meaningless contradiction in terms might just possibly work; otherwise gives rise to totalitarian gibberish--see the quotation's references to Japanese. Add a little reflection on mid20th century's love affair with Natioal Socialism.

I think you missed the week by a couple of decades or more.
