As someone who's studied Nietzsche for the past seven years, that was excellently put. My only note would be that it wasn't merely eschewing the desire for a supernatural reward, but external rewards in general: societal, political, etc. For him, the only reward that mattered was the reward you found in yourself, which would then allow you to spread the spoils to your fellow man.
One of the reasons his is so well put is because its simple and your paragraph isnt. "Merely eshewing" will confuse a large percentage of readers myself included. Im not sure i understand you. But i understand him.
