The Christian God was dead — thanks to Nietzsche

Not this again. Nietzsche was descrbing the state of Western Culture at the time. He wasn't saying it was a good thing. The fact is fervent religious belief held much less of a place in the post-Englightenment, 19th century materialist world that Nietzsche was responding to.
