Nietzsche feels that Christians are only religious to escape from the reality of the world that they live in. They believe only to hide that fact that they are not in a desired position in life. It gives them hope that they will not always be at the bottom of society and will someday be free of their problems. They believe because in God’s eyes all men are equal and that makes them feel better.
He also feels that you have to be miserable in order to follow a religion as it requires. You have to sacrifice everything you have. “The Christian faith is a sacrifice: a sacrifice of all freedom, all pride, all self-confidence of the spirit; at the same time, enslavement and self-mockery, self-mutilation.” You have to give yourself to God and deny your desires. You have to give up what makes you human.
