Happy Birthday, Friedrich Nietzsche: The atheist who had a lot to say about God, man, and the West.

“Nietzsche was not claiming that God had once existed and no longer did. Rather, he recognized what the loss of God meant as the central reference point for Western life, politics, education, art, architecture, and most other aspects of culture. The death of God had, as he put it, ‘unchained the earth from its sun.’” - Breakpoint
