Does the phrase National Socialists German Workers Party sound right wing to you?
Insofar as a church the long term goal of the Nazi's was to turn Germany back to the old gods, prior to Christianity.

Too simplistic.
The Nazis were right-wing in that they were racist nationalists. They were economically left-wing in that the consolidated the means of production under the authority of the state. Authority itself was right-wing in that they favored centralized authoritarian power over a means of governmental checks and balances.
The racist nationalist authoritarianism tends to get the Nazis listed as
right-wing, in spite of their leftist economics.
