Cerebro: By all means Nietzsche advocated re-creation of morals, but he was not so presumptuous as to assume that the very process of such re-creation was somehow removed from the norms of philosophical discourse laid down by historical religious leaders (cf one of the central themes of Thus Spake Zarathustra, the Superman overcomes the restrictions that make modern men mediocre by recognising and overcoming the static ideals and habits of historical philosophy). You're kidding yourself if you think your morals do not have roots in the various religious movements of the past, and this is coming from one of the most 'devout' atheists you'll ever 'meet'. You're not a superman yet. But no one is, so don't feel bad...
