I do understand why many who disagreed with the regime didn't say anything. If they did they got an all expense paid vacation to the local concentration camp.
Nazism had no religion, they espoused an Aryan superiority over lesser races but they weren't Christian. The only thing religious about the holocaust was the Nazis hatred of Judaism and the people who practiced it. The Nazi leadership was either agnostic or atheist. In many countries you see elected leaders doing photo ops at a church but I've never read or seen anything similar by a Nazi leader. Hitler was definitely an atheist.

In high school I had a classmate who was German. He told me his mother had voted for Hitler in the first election. I asked him how could she?! He said she was rural, dirt poor they had no food and he was born with a bone deficiency because of it. Hitler said he would put bread on every German table... but he didn’t say how he would do it. By the time they found out what a monster he was, he was already established. My classmates brother was a soldier, he committed suicide. My classmate felt guilty about Hitler every day for the rest of his life and died young himself.
