Summary/Abstract: Nietzsche’s stance that it is to be written only of that which has been successfully handled may prove thematically ambiguous in a number of ways. Given that relevant interpreters of Nietzsche may consider this title as nothing but a forgery, a genuine approach to the thematic development of such a title has to establish a possible subtitle: what could religious life without religion even mean? Indeed, does this title contain anything but an unsuccessful provocation?! Is it too little to say that religious life as discussed here, understood through the key of Nietzsche’s philosophy, has nothing to do with the life of religiosity?! Nietzsche presents this “cheapest and most innocent mode of life” as bodying forth of the great mind in the pervasive intoxication. His language becomes a dance with things, while wisdom in such a dance appears as belonging to that which is infinite. This examination will, in comparison with the contemporary, attempt to shed light on such a thought landscape.
