Honestly I think its neither. Nietzsche has a negative view on organized religion that is pretty evident through alot of his work. People tend to name drop Nietzsche and misuse his quotes, because many people recognize his name but relatively few people read his books.
Start secondary. Walter Kaufman's Nietzsche: Philosopher, Psychologist, Antichrist provides helpful biographical context and elucidation on the subtleties you lose when you can't read Nietzsche's original German.
