Nietzsche has many reasons for despising Christianity: he feels
that it points out the wrong values for mankind, a weakness, and false
morality. As a religion, Nietzsche felt Christianity is adverse to truth-
seeking and scientific question; it replaced these values with blind
belief. Nietzsches atheism is somewhat unusual, in that he takes the
non-existence of God as a given, not thinking twice about the proof of
God. The possible reality of a god is most of the time ignored as a
ridiculous notion by Nietzsche. In his writing he seems mush more
interested to analyze the philosophical and psychological foundations
of religious belief.
There are several key Christian ideas that Nietzsche dislikes in
particular. Nietzsche tries to separate each concept and criticize each
in turn. In Christianity it is said that, “each person has an immortal
soul and that all such souls are equal in the eyes of God are mainly
interesting, and derive their power by appealing both to the anti-
aristocratic sentiment of the lower classes, as well as to individual
egos and their fear of death”. Furthermore it is mention by Jesus that,
“the Christian soul serves a multifold purpose: as the locus for the
transcendence of all earthly behavior, the vehicle into the beyond of
heavens immortality, and the grand equalizer by which the lowest
criminal has the same worth in Gods eyes as the greatest king or
hero”.
