>funny, he could have dissed the rest of the world theistic religions in the same way with his rationalism, like anyone could do today
To play devil's advocate let me present to you the nilihists argument agaisnt atheism.

Max Stirner, saw secular morality as nothing more than a new religion.
Which Nietzsche also refers to as Western Buddhism.
Take for example the Genealogy of Morals, the third essay What is the Meaning of Aesthetic Ideals.
It specifically addresses the idea that freedom requires a freedom from truth.
It's no more or less crazy than anything else.
"Atheists are skeptical for the existence of God, but they are credulous and gullible when you replace the word ‘God’ with another mysterious thing called ‘morals." - Max Stirner
"The 'absolute idea' in Hegelian philosophy, which again in manifold refractions split into the different ideas of philanthropy, reasonableness, civic virtue, and so on. The philosophers of our time say concepts are to decide everywhere, concepts to regulate life, concepts to rule.
To which Hegel gave a systematic expression, bringing method into the nonsense and completing the conceptual precepts into a rounded, firmly-based dogmatic. Everything is sung according to concepts and the real man, I, am compelled to live according to these conceptual laws."
Stiner pissed off his fellow young Hegelians when he asked them if the universe is meaningless and when they said yes, he told them it was absurd to try and create meaning out of the meaningless and that they were just hypocrites trying to impose their will on others with made up concepts.
He also told them how could good, evil and wrong exist in a meaningless universe and to define "evil" and "wrong".
Again
When they said religion is used to control people he asked how that was any different from laws, society, social norms, ethics and even civilization itself. As they are all used to control people and their behavior and called them hypocrites.
