“national socialism is not a cult-movement - a movement for worship; it is exclusively a 'volkic' political doctrine based upon racial principles. in its purpose there is no mystic cult, only the care and leadership of a people defined by a common blood-relationship. therefore we have no rooms for worship, but only halls for the people - no open spaces for worship, but spaces for assemblies and parades. we have no religious retreats, but arenas for sports and playing-fields, and the characteristic feature of our places of assembly is not the mystical gloom of a cathedral, but the brightness and light of a room or hall which combines beauty with fitness for its purpose. in these halls no acts of worship are celebrated, they are exclusively devoted to gatherings of the people of the kind which we have come to know in the course of our long struggle; to such gatherings we have become accustomed and we wish to maintain them. we will not allow mystically-minded occult folk with a passion for exploring the secrets of the world beyond to steal into our movement. such folk are not national socialists, but something else - in any case, something which has nothing to do with us. at the head of our program there stand no secret surmisings but clear-cut perception and straightforward profession of belief. but since we set as the central point of this perception and of this profession of belief the maintenance and hence the security for the future of a being formed by god, we thus serve the maintenance of a divine work and fulfill a divine will - not in the secret twilight of a new house of worship, but openly before the face of the lord.”
