Theory: Hitler & Nazi Germany are merely "maximal evil" words for most of modern Western secular culture. If you went back to half-millennia-ago Europe, then something fairly similar to Godwin's Law would apply to Satan & Hell. Similar for other historical periods and cultures.
OTOH, Western culture has been strongly dualist (good/evil - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dualistic_cosmology#Moral_dualism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dualistic_cosmology#Moral_dual... ) for the past 1500-ish years. In non-dualist cultures, things might work quite differently.
