What is the translation of Vivaldi's song Cum dederit dilectus suis somnum?
He gives the loved ones in their sleep (what they need)
No.
He was raised a catholic, but he later dismissed Christianity and joined a masonic order, and most likely an atheist one:
"Mozart's position within the Masonic movement, according to Maynard Solomon, lay with the rationalist, Enlightenment-inspired membership, as opposed to those members oriented toward mysticism and the occult."
This type of masonic movement is usually referred to as "Illuminati", meaning "enlightened" in Latin.
And the "Illuminati" is widely recognized as an atheistic movement.
Further evidence that Mozart was an atheist is that he on his deathbed rejected a catholic priest and was buried in the common grave of the poor.
