Drews advocated a radical version of the Jesus Myth Theory, claiming that there is no evidence of the existence of Jesus as a historical figure. His position was motivated by a virulent antisemitism who led him to support the rise of the German Faith Movement, a form of neo-Pagan Aryanism meant to replace both Judaism and Christianity.
