Nietzsche was one of the philosophers that believed you could invent your own system of morals, and was opposed to traditional moral frameworks, especially religious frameworks, and especially especially Christian moral frameworks. A concept that today has such a remarkably poor track record, that there’s really no reason for it to be taken seriously anymore. But the way he categorized things is perfectly reasonable given the context of his writing. No religion truly describes a single monolithic belief system or morality. Every religion is made entirely of individuals who each have their own particular set of beliefs and morality. But we invent categories to group things that are similar together, and “traditional Christian morality” makes perfect sense to discuss as an alternative to “Nietzschean morality”.
