Currently, there is an ongoing debate on whether atheism was a causal factor for Friedrich Nietzsche's insanity or whether it was caused purely through disease.

Currently, there is an ongoing debate..
That debate must only be going on on Conservapedia and we all know that it is the biggest steaming pile of manure west of Free Republic and east of Rapture Ready!
Yes, of course. That's the subject of this weeks causal factor of atheism. Wonder what next week's causal factor will be? There's millions to choose from. There's so many choices, you'll be debating forever.
While the causal factors of religion remain the same as ever. They are:-
Laziness and the inability to engage ones thinking equipment in a meaningful way.
One or more of the above will turn you in to a mindless religious moron.
The only debate of what you mention is between fundies, not between competent psychologists...
In other words, just becuase you make a claim on your "debate page" that atheism causes insanity does not mean there is a debate going on in the professional realm, as your context hints at.
Nietzsche had a pretty complex atheism, given that he only discussed it in terms of the death of traditional morality and the metaphorical ability for humans to become gods.
Why don't you tackle Bill Maher's neener-neener Religulous first? Walk before you run, son.
What the fuck is this crap? There are four citations there, and of the four only one isn't from a religiously biased website. And it's from the National Center for Biotechnology Information, but the page says nothing about atheism. You people are fucking liars.
Some would say he is insane.
Others say he is a genius.
Many world shifting figures have experienced this.
Whether they become historical heroes or villains is another matter.
Nah. Nietzsche just said 'God is dead '
Seems that he wasn't proved wrong then - or since.
And those who require religious 'faith' are themselves exhibiting insanity: Delusion.
Nope. Still not being proved wrong , we Atheists, in our taking Nietzsche's thinking one stage further: that a 'God' never existed in the first place.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
