God is the context of morality, he provides it

Within a few weeks the Israelites were starving, so Moses appealed to God, who promised: "I will rain down bread from Heaven for you", [Exodus 16] and delivered the mysterious, but nutritious, manna which was "white like coriander seed and tasted like a wafer made with honey"

So now approximately 3.1 million children die from undernutrition each year (UNICEF, 2018a). Hunger and undernutrition contribute to more than half of global child deaths, as undernutrition can make children more vulnerable to illness and exacerbate disease. What does God do? Nothing, so God is amoral or as Nietzsche said, God is dead.

19th-century Europeans believed that God gave Europeans the duty and power to conquer the world. So, they invaded the world and conquered colonies.
Nietzsche said that God died because the Europeans lost the love and sacrifice of Jesus. Just as the Jews executed Jesus and chose Barabbas
The Europeans abandoned Jesus and created imperialism as a new god.

The death of God, as Nietzsche said, means that the Europeans abandoned Jesus' love and devotion.
