he didn't say "God isn't real" or "God doesn't exist"

he said he is "dead"

as though implicitly he acknowledges the existence of God

good answer here that explains this angle:

https://philosophy.stackexchange.com/questions/24356/what-confirms-the-claim-that-friedrich-nietzsche-was-an-atheist-from-a-christian

his statements in his writings more concur with the interpretation that the society he lived in had "killed God" than that he rejected the idea of God existing.

as it points out in that answer, he also was mad about the state of physics at that time as well, and there's another author who was similar, whose writings gave us "rabbithole" and many beautifully framed conundrums in fictional form about the problems of quantum physics and at that time, many spooks (Lewis Carroll).

even today some branches of physics are obsessed with answers to the question of where the source of energy comes from in the universe pointing at this "dark matter" and "dark energy" hooey, when, in my humble opinion, it is obvious that the universe is in a constant state of expansion, the driving force of it, and this nonsense about "the big bang" and the "big crunch" are also examples of this nihilistic, nonsensical idea that entropy, which they frame as being something like evil, prevails in the universe

it doesn't prevail, no different to the fantasy of the angel Lucifer who believed he was better than the creator of everything. it is merely the whetstone against which good must always sharpen itself (and as an amateur cryptographer, i would say that this is the most correct interpretation of what entropy actually means - the punishment for a lack of vigilance and ambition).
