Atheist Slogans in Sacred Languages.
Does anyone know how to say "God does not exist" in arabic, hebrew or latin? etc.

I would definitely be careful with the Arabic slogans.

You might enjoy the babelfish site. Don't think they do Arabic, however.

I believe (though not with 100% certainty) that "la-ilaha" means "there is no god" in Arabic. (It's the first part of the shahadah.)

would sanskrit count as a sacred language? or are we just talking abrahamic sacred here?

Aren't Catholic masses performed in Latin? Aren't those scriptural?
