What is the difference between race propaganda that states that one race is better than other races (Hitler, KKK, etc.) and religious propaganda that states one religion is better than the others that leads to blood shed?

very little, same God, different portals. Dumb.

the Racist types usually believe what they are spouting, while the religious propagandists are often just big hypocrites after your money.

Not much, save for the fact that religions are sets of views and beliefs rather than inborn factors of heritage. Not only can the religious beliefs of others (in theory) be changed, but religious beliefs certainly do have more of an impact on a person's ethics and actions than their race. Not that any of that is especially important, because with all religions being on roughly the same footing with regards to how subjective their beliefs are, they basically level out to being "Separate, But Equal", and leaving no one the especial right to claim superiority.

Nothing to me. I was subbing a class of fifth graders and two of the kids started arguing about religion. One of the kids was a Hispanic girl (so is 95% of the school) and a Jehovah Witness (not so common among Hispanics) and the other kid was black boy (about 2% of the school, if that) and Christian. The Christian child was making fun of the Jehovah Witness. I had to explain to him that what he was doing was just as wrong as her making fun of him for being black. He actually understood and admitted that would not make him feel good.

In my opinion, no racial ethnicity is "better" than any other. Furthermore in my opinion, no religion is any better than any other religion. All propaganda is, is a one-sided way of stating something to persuade people into or against a cause.

Jesus showed love to Samaritans and Gentiles, he didn't kill them. Jesus was a Jew. Hitler was a nominal Christian (I think that is what is meant by taking the name of the Lord in vain) who killed Jews as "Christ Killers," completely forgetting that Christ was a Jew. He might have identified himself with Christ, but I doubt very much that Christ would have claimed him. He also neglected to mention that he was half-Jewish himself, and by his own laws should have been put to death. I forget which of his parents was Jewish, but I suspect it was his father, who abandoned the family. That wouldn't justify his murderous anger, but it might explain its origins. Hitler's propaganda was anti-Christian. And that is on Hitler, not Christ. That is one example, but I suspect the others would fit into it pretty neatly. Nearly always, when someone starts shedding blood in the name of Christ, it is because they are out in front saying "This is what God wants!" rather than humbly asking "God, what do you want?"

A subtle difference, but I believe their is one. If said religious literature is deliberately setting out to eliminate/kill/harm a group of a different faith, then there is no difference. However, most religious lit. that I see is trying to convert people from one religion to another for compassionate reasons. (They want people to see their way because they believe it is the right way...) With racist literature there is no way for conversion, only elimination and/or oppression.

There is no difference. Each of those platforms denies basic human rights and human dignity.
