November 8, 2026 at 10:02 PM MT · via YouTube / History Unmasked · Summarized by Mormon News from original reporting

History Unmasked profiles Trevor Tomesh, a Catholic computer science professor and former atheist who spent three months reading the entire Book of Mormon as a religious outsider. The video has generated 20,096 views in 39 hours.

Tomesh, who knew Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens during his years as an atheist, undertook the reading as a Catholic examining Latter-day Saint scripture. The video describes his approach as unusual among critics of the faith, most of whom have not read the entire text.
