Nietzsche argues that the concept of God is a human creation, and once we realize this we can no longer base religious or moral beliefs on the idea of a divine being. As Western thought began to acknowledge the lack of proof for God's existence, some like Kierkegaard advocated embracing God through faith while Nietzsche said it was time to create a new way of being centered around human creativity instead of God. Nietzsche also critiques the Christian God by noting that if God created an orderly world with purpose and objective morality, but the real world appears chaotic and lacks clear order and morality, then the God of Christianity does not exist.

Nietzsche is showing the inevitable unfolding anthropocentrism (lit. putting
man at the centre of the world) implicit in philosophy since Kant. If we view our existence through human categories, then our concept of God is itself a human creation. Nietzsche is not simply asserting his atheism; he is suggesting that once we are aware that the concept of God is our own creation we can no longer base our religious and moral beliefs on any notion of a divine external reality. In the period that Nietzsche was writing, the death of God was just beginning. Western thought was starting to face the prospect of a radical change in its orientation, and it wasn't quite ready to own up to it yet. Kierkegaard and Nietzsche represent opposite reactions to the inability of rationality to give a rock solid theoretical proof of God's existence. Kierkegaard calls for us to embrace God even if it seems an absurdity, while Nietzsche says it is time for us to create a new mode of being, with human creativity at its centre.
Nietzsches argument about the God of Christians
According to Christianity, God is an orderly, purposive, and moral being, who has, therefore, given his creation an orderly structure, made it part of his grand plan, and established objective moral values. What Nietzsche sees is that this world is chaotic and does not have order, purpose and moral values. Therefore, the Christian God does not exist. (1. If God is an orderly, purposive, and moral being, who has, therefore, given his creation an orderly structure, made it part of his grand plan, and established objective moral values 2. This world is chaotic and does not have order, purpose, and moral values. 3. If this world does not have order, purpose, and moral values then, therefore the God pf Christians does not exist.
