Is it true that Friedrich Nietzsche believed in the existence of God?
Unclear. Multiple reference and scholarly sources associate Nietzsche with the 'God is dead' theme and describe his critique of Christianity, and one notes most commentators regard him as an atheist, but none directly states whether Nietzsche himself believed in God. The evidence leans against the claim only indirectly.
