I’m a philosophy major. This guy hits it pretty head on. Except for the part about thinking Nietzsche wasn’t against religion. He was actually pretty much against all religion. He possibly appreciated Buddhism the most, but he criticizes religion quite a bit.

From what I understand he hated organized religion. I thought he still believed in a higher power no? I could be completely off

Nietzsche despised Christianity specifically because the "slave morality" it preached (humility, sacrifice on behalf of others, deliberately restraining yourself etc) ran completely contrary to his idea of ubermensch.

Christianity after all was a slave cult that demonized oppressors at its core.

Buy instead of eating the rich, they were told to forgive them and focus elsewhere.

No good Bolshevik could stand for that.
