May I ask, why did you pick Fidel Castro? :sarcastic

When it comes to prominent atheist in Latin America (or the Cuban Revolution I guess), I would rather say Che Guevara, but that's just me I guess.

Castro has more to say on religion than Che did. While Che is definitely the more eloquent speaker, Castro had a lot to say about religion.

We will probably never know. Take, for example, Seneca the Younger, who said:

"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful."

He wasn't just eloquent - if the stories are accurate, Caligula was so offended by Seneca's oratorical success in the Senate that he ordered him to commit suicide.

But we have no chance to listen to him speaking, so how can we compare him to modern day speakers?
