Theological materialism reintroduces God again, after Nietzsche attempted to kill God. In defining Godhood as the supremely evolved living object, or objects, or supremely evolved animal, we bring Godhood back.

The metaphysical error of calling material life evil
There is no real conflict
between God and the material world because, contrary to many
religious traditions, religious transcendence does not transcend the
material world, Godhood is the highest evolution of the material
world, although it is a kind of material of which we must evolve more
to fully understand.
Nietzsche rightly developed the
animality of the human being in philosophy,
but in replacing God, Nietzsche advanced things only as far as the
superman.

This means the animal, the
instincts, and indeed material life, are no longer evil, especially
when material life evolves to Godhood; calling material life evil was
a metaphysical error which actually blocked our evolution toward
ascending levels of Godhood.
The
ethos of the revealed religions has its source in asceticism, that
is, in a lifestyle of abstinence from sensual pleasures, including
celibacy, withdrawing from the world, and general renunciation to
pursue the spiritual goal of seeing the God within---which is really
a peak material experience.
But
we can conservatively retain that old Inward Path to the God within
as the first imperfect glimpse of Godhood wrongly defined as
spiritual now seen as materially evolving to Godhood in the Outward Path.
