What was Nietzche's final thesis or conclusion on religion and spirituality?

Question:I highly recommend you check out the section 'Morality as Anti-Nature' from "Twilight of the Idols" (link 1). In brief:

Relgion is not intrinsically bad. What can make one bad is the extent to which is denies nature and humanity... when it suppresses and denies human passions instead of integrating and 'spiritualizing' them. It is no secret that he considered Christianity to be one of the worst offenders.

Indeed, because he thought that passion was intrinsic to each of us, it was CRITICAL to elevate them to the highest levels. To purify and control them so you enjoy the best aspects of the spirit without being destroyed by the worst. And to him, this was not a process of reason - many very reasonable people are no less a victim of their passions than many fools - but one of WILL.

He understands that religion serves a purpose, though, and that we will not be able to do away with even the bad ones unless we can do better. This is the meaning of his expression, "God is dead." It is not a question of absence, but of responsibility. Only a god would have the right to murder another god.

I this quote of Nietzsche's (from "Thus Spoke Zarathustra")much better sums up his view: "Companions the creator seeks, not corpses, not herds and believers. Fellow creators the creator seeks - those who write new values on new tablets. Companions the creator seeks, and fellow harvesters; for everything about him is ripe for the harvest."

God is dead. The end.

The virtues of religion absolutely cause our current reality of hate and individuals with scrambled brains that maintain the animal instinct of survival (brutality), instead of rational thought and civilized behaviors.
