Answer: Religious individuals were targeted because they disagreed with what was happening. If anyone disagreed with what the Nazi party believed in-- along with Hitler in general-- They would be sentenced. Back then, they abused their power to a horrible extent. The sentencing question will be different with each person you ask. However, I believe that people who were religious should not have been charged or injured in any way. Nazis, on the other hand, deserve the same treatment that they gave.
