Put into print for the first time in English, this short treatise, published during the Nazi Germany era lays out a rejection of religion, without a rejection of faith. It represents an example of one of the few state-supported forms of Deism but is not entirely Deistic, as it does not build this belief upon the idea that reason reveals faith, but that faith is a lens to regard an irrational world. In short it expounds upon the "Positive God-belief", what one could call Positive Theism. Toward the end of the war, as Kirchenkampf was well under way, a small portion of Germans turned away from the church but not of faith in a creator. Whether regarded as a piece of World War II history, a reflection on faith, a revival of non-Odinist paganism, or a return to pre-Christian sentiments of Dyēus Pətḗr, this book, though inflammatory, is a rare window into a 20th century rejection of mainline religion, as well as atheism.
