From Faulkner's "The Wild Palms"

"There is no place in the world for it, not even in Utah. We have eliminated it. It took us a long time, but...we have got rid of love at last just as we have got rid of Christ. We have radio in the place of God's voice and instead of having to save emotional currency for months and years to deserve one chance to spend it all we now spread it thin into coppers and titillate ourselves at any newsstand...If Jesus returned today we would have to crucify him quick in our own defense, to justify and preserve the civilization we have worked and suffered and died shrieking and cursing in rage and impotence a terror for two thousand years to create and perfect in man's own image; if Venus returned she would be a soiled man in a subway lavatory with a palm full of French post-cards." (pg. 115)

This quote expresses what I think Nietzsche actually meant by, "God is dead! God is dead! And we have killed him!" Not so much that there is no God (though Nietzsche did believe that), but rather that we have formed our society such that God and love and redemption and meaning are excluded. Even in Utah.
