Roblox preacher ‘most influential’ apologist for Spanish speakers

By Caleb Campos —

Rigoberto Hidalgo Alpízar was more than a church kid. He was on the worship band.

But at age 20, he decided to become an atheist.

He went to college and researched big questions. He examined philosophies. He weighed science. He thought a lot.

Then he came back to God.

His new book, The Circus of Atheism: Unmasking the Spectacle of Unbelief (available only in Spanish for now), is deliberately provocative. The people who make atheism sound convincing and coherent are putting on a show for popular audiences, he alleges. Their real arguments are shallow.

“If you believe, this book will give you reasons to continue believing,” he says. “If you doubt, it will make you confront those doubts.”

The Leo y Nacho Podcast calls him one of the most influential apologists today in the Spanish-speaking world.

Rigoberto is a Costa Rican who doesn’t wait for Gen Alpha to walk into church. He goes to them.

His Urban Defense channel he debates atheists and others live. He dined with therians (people who believe they are part or at times animals) and then spoke to them with compassion about truth.

On May 3, he entered the Roblox gaming platform and connected on one occasion with 14,000 to whom he preached the Gospel.
