yes, but there are worse misinterpretations.
God is dead, God is dying... God is a principle of death, of nihilism. God is anti-life.
That's what he meant, if I recall correctly.

Of course god exists, in the minds of men. Or it did exist, but we killed it when we stopped believing in it. No one in the west, not even Christcucks, believes god is the sole source of moral authority anymore. They front like they do but the various children of god (nationalism, patriotism, humanitarianism, secularism, ect) have usurped him as providers of values.
To Nietzsche, god is 'real', but real in the same sense that anything is real, it's all a lie so old we've forgotten it was a lie. In the postmodern verbiage it's a social construction. Nietzsche was generally opposed to Christianity and the Christian conception of god, but he was indeed more than a little frightened at the prospect of it vanishing from our consciousness because it has been the way that men have dealt with the problem of nihilism for generation upon generation.
