Nietzsche: Why Do People Believe in God? (3/3)

Why do people believe religious ideas? Nietzsche says that belief in God is a fabricated, but simple solution to a variety of complex questions and human desires. The meaning of life, the greater good of suffering, the grounding of morality, the existence of an afterlife, the definition of justice––all of these things are constructs which depend on the belief in God. Nietzsche recognizes Christianity’s utility, but believes the time has come to cast it aside in favor of self generated values and morality. His observations and conclusions about Christianity’s function range from the individual to the nation, from mass-shooters to world leaders.
