This statement first originated by the philosopher Nietszche, and is said to mean that God is not literally dead but that the idea of God and any other means of religion no longer holds any kind of morality to humans.

In Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible," John Proctor's statement "God is dead" reflects his disillusionment with the hypocrisy and moral corruption in Salem. This phrase symbolizes the loss of true faith and integrity in a society consumed by fear, mass hysteria, and the relentless pursuit of power. Proctor’s declaration highlights the conflict between individual conscience and societal pressures, revealing his deep internal struggle and the broader theme of moral ambiguity in the play.
John Proctor is a very tormented character. He cheated on his wife with Abigail, and believes that the affair tarnished him in the eyes of God. At times he appears wise and virtuous. At other times he is stubborn and guilt riddled.
Because he doesn't exactly preach he 'only preaches about hellfire and damnation and never mentions God in church' -proctor

It's false, because God is a life

Reverend Hale's advice to John Proctor is that he should simply admit to being a witch to save himself because "life is God's most precious gift."
John Proctor reveals about his affair with Abigail in open court. He reveals it because in court Abigail calls God, and Proctor accuses her of being a woman who sleeps around and tells the court they had an affair.
In "The Crucible", John Proctor does not attend church regularly because he does not like, or agree with, the Reverend Parris. Because of this, he also refuses to have his last child baptized.
He doesn't believe that Rev. Parris is actually preaching about God. He says that he speaks mostly of hell, or getting more money. Parris talked a lot about getting the golden candle holders. All in all, Proctor didn't believe that Parris had the "light of God."
John Proctor tells Reverend Hale that he has been absent from church because he does not agree with Reverend Parris's preaching and feels that the minister is more concerned with wealth and reputation than with true spirituality. Additionally, Proctor expresses his discontent with the church's focus on hellfire and brimstone rather than fostering a genuine connection with God. These reasons highlight Proctor's disillusionment with the religious authority in Salem.
She learns to be more forgiving. Elizabeth Proctor would not forgive her husband John Proctor for having an affair with Abigail Williams once she had heard about it, but toward the end of the play, when her husband is about to be hanged, she finally forgives him and shows how much she means it. "He have his goodness now. God forbid I take it from him!"
