@Jordano53: I'm happy to do the review for you but before I do, can I ask might it be worthwhile including in the hook that the athiests lost the case? The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 09:40, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@The C of E: Added. Jordano53 (talk) 12:38, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In that case. Date, length and hooks all OK. QPQ not needed as this is his first nomination. No close paraphrasing. Picture licence fine. Good to go. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 13:00, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
