Answer

Friedrich Nietzsche was born into a Lutheran family, but he became an atheist during his early years. His atheism was influenced by his reading of David Strauss's Life of Jesus, which argued that the Gospels were not historical documents but rather works of fiction. Nietzsche also rejected the idea of a personal God, arguing that such a concept was a product of human wishful thinking.
