Yeah, I've read his "Beyond Good and Evil". Interesting stuff, but not a huge influence on me.
The problem with the idea of a saviour is that it's based on the view that human beings are spiritually broken in some sense. That premise needs challenged. I view humans as animals, and we don't need saved from our sins any more than cats and dogs do.
