Weakness, Individuality, Strength in Numbers

The Christian promotions of Pity and Meekness are antithetical to the promotion of Strength by the Will to Power.  Furthermore, the Christian promotion of individual Salvation is antithetical to the collectivity of the Dionysian festivals, described at the beginning of Birth of Tragedy.  So, Nietzsche's opposition to Christian values targets both Weakness and Individuation, each an antithesis to the principle of strength in numbers.
