Why there is not only one? Is it because it is just fancy(*1)? Many cultures have their own god/s, religions, based or not, on some events which we cant say with 100% probability that happened. What I want to say is, that world, society, system cant leave thier way of life, way of thinking as is now, yes there are people who dont believe in "higher being", but I mean whole world as is. "Morality" is the only thing which dont allow you rape unknown woman on the street, or something like that (you know what I mean, dont take it literaly). It is just learned thing, being imparted from childhood. But I dont want to imagine what will world look like without all that...

"God is dead" does not mean that Nietzsche believed in an actual God who first existed and then died in a literal sense. It may be more appropriate to consider the statement as Nietzsche's way of saying that the conventional Christian God is no longer a viable source of any absolute moral principles. Nietzsche recognizes the crisis which the death of God represents for existing moral considerations, because "When one gives up the Christian faith, one pulls the right to Christian morality out from under one's feet.

The death of God will lead, Nietzsche says, not only to the rejection of a belief of cosmic or physical order but also to a rejection of absolute values themselves — to the rejection of belief in an objective and universal moral law, binding upon all individuals. In this manner, the loss of an absolute basis for morality leads to nihilism. This nihilism is that for which Nietzsche worked to find a solution by re-evaluating the foundations of human values.
