An Essay about Atheism in Latin

[Belacqua]

Don't listen to these grouches; I don't think they get outside much.

I think it's actually a bit fun that you've done this. Hilariously ironic because many churches used Latin in their services for many, many years. This is almost a way to take that concept and turn it around on them.

We're going to hit you with some truth but in a language you don't understand so it makes it all esoteric and ritualistic.

Cool idea.

Well, yes, that was kind of what I wanted. It was primarily intended to be an elegant response to religious people saying stuff like "You need to read the Bible in its original languages, or at least in Latin, for it to make sense to you.".

I think it's great you could write that in Latin. I wish I could do as much.

If the content is to be as important as the language, though, I think you'll have to rise above the level of quoting Dawkins. He's not someone who can be taken seriously on the topic of theology.
