Friedrich Nietzsche is one of the most influential philosophers of the 19th century and yet he is often misunderstood as a nihilist who rejected all forms of morality. However, his works offer a profound exploration of how an individual can lead a morally good life without the need for belief in God. Nietzsche’s philosophy emphasizes the importance of personal responsibility, the creation of one’s own values, and the pursuit of excellence, providing a robust framework for an atheist to be good without relying on divine commandments.
