I'm happy to share my thoughts, and I also not claim, that I have the correct interpretations of Nietzsche. Sometimes his "protagonists" (intentionally) contradict themselves, which can be interpreted multiple ways.

His analysis of religion is one of the things that is more direct. What he does, is that he digs up the human psychology about God and morality, it is very different than what I expected when I read it first. Nothing like the Marxist platitudes like: "Religion is the opium of the people." Though he is even less gentle in critiquing Christianity and Judaism.

So he has no prescription about God and religion, but the way he analyzes them is very unique and thought provoking. I cannot really summarize it well in a comment.

One interesting thing is that he thought that ancient people, like the Greeks had a more correct understanding of God(s) and morality, which I tend to agree more as I research the topic.
