Was Friedrich Nietzsche an atheist

Answer 1

No, he saw the atheists as being as dogmatic as the theists in their respective beliefs.

He didn't even try to prove or disprove God's existence. He just want to have a revaluation of moral values because he had seen Christians as worshiping already material things especially modern technologies.

Answer 2

It depends on whether you consider an "apatheist" to be an "atheist". Nieztsche is properly considered to be an "apatheist anti-theist". An "apatheist" is someone who does not care about whether or not God exists and so has no real position on the issue due to this apathy. An "anti-theist" is someone who directly opposes religions and/or their deities. Now, Nietzsche was utterly repulsed by the character of the Christian God and the Christian Church, but he would have hated the God-character regardless of whether He is actually real or not and did not care about whether or not God was real.
