Romulus and Remus

Can such a thing as religion be true
When Romulus and Remus said not
"Pater noster"
but
"Mater noster
Quae est lupa
et stulta
dum sumus homines
et non sumus fatui
igitur
matrem non amamus"?

Author notes

Uh the creator of the contest sort of drew my attention to the language thing so here's a translation of the Latin:

Pater noster = our father (as in the prayer)

Mater noster = our mother
Quae est lupa = who is a she-wolf (Romulus and Remus were suckled by a she-wolf; long story)
et stulta = and is stupid
dum sumus homines = while we are men
et non sumus fatui = and we are not stupid
igitur = therefore
matrem non amamus? = we do not love our mother

The translation makes it sound way less deep. Trust me here.
