I don’t see how “critiquing secularized knwoledge” because it implicitly contains religious values could be seen as theist. But on that different point, Nietzsche has many positive things to say about the theism of the Greeks - it’s the Judeo-christian variant that is most often his focus. Re: absurdism, it seems to me that the “atheists” he critiques in that passage aren’t remotely aware of the implications of their non-belief - and that seems to me to be the point the madman is making

Big stretch :-)
Most/a lot, infidels aknowledge that loss of faith ignites an absurdist worldview.
But that is not perse a problem, see "A. Camus" who embraces the absurd life without god in "The myth of Sisyphus".
