Nietzsche Quiz question

Explain: "I'm affraid we are not rid of God because we still have faith in grammar."

Under Nietzsche, reality exists in a dualistic state: appereance and representation (the drive to do is the will). According to Nietzsche, language removes us from our actions. Language is not a true representation of reality, but instead a social construction of humans. Believing in language would be evidence of staying with the slave morality associated with religion. Through language humans are separated form the real and can therefore talk about the unreal human constructs such as God.
