"God is Dead" Nietzsche's proclamation to the "advent of nihilism"

Frederick Nietzsche states clearly his reasoning for "God is dead, God remains dead, and we have killed him". This statement has brought many to ponder the reasoning of Nietzsche's position. Western Civilization and its culture are to blame according to Nietzsche. The "Advent of Nihilism" is also to blame for the death of God. Nietzsche believes there is no objective order or structure in the world except what we give it. This belief or theory …

…is correct about the politics of religion creating the "advent of nihilism", but he fails to characterize it that way which makes him lose even more credibility with his ignorant theories. I think the question Nietzsche should be pondering more than any is, did the advent of nihilism "kill God", or did the changing global landscape and the free will of democracy allow for people to chose who they worship rather than being forced to?
