The concept of political religion as used in the study of National Socialism depends upon highly criticized expressive-symbolist theories of religion and an implied opposition to the religion of genuine Christianity. The idea of a counterfeit substitute for Christianity goes back to ancient Christian discourse about heresy. The article advocates rational-cognitivist approaches to religion and argues that these prove better for historical work on National Socialism, and that Steigmann-Galls Holy Reich is compatible with this way of theorizing religion
