[6/26, 3:07 AM] Meta AI: "God is Dead" theology, also known as "Death of God" theology, is a

theological movement that emerged in the 1960s. It was largely influenced by the ideas of Friedrich
Nietzsche, who famously declared that "God is dead."

This movement rejected traditional religious beliefs and practices, arguing that:

1. God is no longer a relevant or believable concept in modern society.

2. Traditional religious institutions and dogma are outdated and oppressive.

3. Humanity must take responsibility for creating its own meaning and values in life, without reliance on
divine authority.

Proponents of "God is Dead" theology sought to create a new, post-religious framework for
understanding the world and human existence. They emphasized individual freedom, autonomy, and
creativity, and often drew on existentialist and humanist philosophies.

Some notable figures associated with this movement include:

1. Thomas Altizer

2. William Hamilton

3. Paul Van Buren

4. Gabriel Vahanian

While the "God is Dead" movement was controversial and influential, it also faced criticism for its
rejection of traditional religious values and its potential for nihilism.
